comfortable
You hold precious what you create for yourself in your life that makes you comfortable.
successful player looks
If you look at any successful skit comedy show, ever, there is that format of introducing you to the player in the beginning, and then going on to see those sketches.
adoption comedian ghost
[Adoption] could turn you into an exquisite comedian. Ask Richard Pryor's ghost.
overwhelmed approach
I get overwhelmed when I approach things intellectually.
father adopted tall
I'm adopted, so I didn't know my father, but apparently he was pretty tall.
two race might
We[with Jordan Peele] wanted to do something with [Barack] Obama because we actually felt that Obama was kind of responsible for us even getting a show in the first place because there's this biracial person who might, you know, have to ride the divide between two different races.
attachment leader excellence
Excellence is being thwarted not only by laziness but by reckless attachment to causes, programs, and - in some cases, leaders.
bible christian expectations
Once we truly grasp the message of the New Testament, it is impossible to read the Old Testament again without seeing Christ on every page, in every story, foreshadowed or anticipated in every event and narrative. The Bible must be read as a whole, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, letting promise and fulfillment guide or expectations for what we will find there.
couple character thinking
My favorite TV couple is Edith and Archie Bunker. Because they were such individuals that I can't imagine anyone else playing them. And I think that Archie was one of the greatest characters ever on television. Even with his flaws, you loved him.
listening curiosity answers
Curiosity and listening [are the principles to an excellent interview]. I never go into an interview with a dedicated list of questions in which I will not deviate. You must be curious about the subject and listen to his answer and ask the next question off that rather than the next question on your list.
las-vegas cities feelings
It's a corny old gag about Las Vegas, the temporal city if there ever was one, trying to camouflage the hours and retard the dawn, when everybody knows that if you're feeling lucky you're really feeling time in its rawest form, and if you're not feeling lucky, they've got a clock at the bus station.
omen
Maybe nothing's so unfunny as an omen read wrong.
commitment thinking space
I think size is the most unused quotient in the sculptor's repertoire because it requires lots of commitment and time. To me it's the best tool. With size you get space and atmosphere: atmosphere becomes volume. You stand in the shape, in the zone.
photograph can-not i-can
I have looked at so many photographs, I can not see them anymore.
