happy-life media people
There is a part of my generation that is not on social media because they have happy lives and they're not trying to connect with anybody. And there are other people who are on social media because they need to connect.
want stuff comfort
There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone.
people creative woods
Knock on wood, my groupies tend to be very artistic, creative people - sometimes way more creative than I am.
struggle creative tvs
I never said that movies were struggling behind TV. I'm just saying that movies have a better creative cache.
growing-up kids people
Growing up, there are always those kids who are only happy when they are making someone else upset. That is unfortunately just how some people are. And their parents were fine. Some people are just born with bad wiring.
humanity remember reactions
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, 'Well, I've had it with humanity.' But I was wrong.
judging rooms size
Every audience is different, even within the same venue. You have to just make every audience your audience; you can't pre-judge an audience based on the size of the room or the type of room.
fire comedian sitting
Before doing my first open mic, I was sitting in the back watching all these comedians banter back and forth and fire jokes and up each other, and I thought, 'This is where I wanna be.'
laughing comedian matter
Here's what I'm afraid of. I know a lot of comedians, friends of mine, who just got into the 'Doesn't matter what I say. It doesn't matter. They're just gonna laugh anyway.'
beautiful hate things-i-love
There's something kind of beautiful about that pure love of things. Like, "I'll show that I love the thing I love by hating everything else."
genius scene magnolias
I love the beginning of Magnolia, the thing about the dealer. That scene is genius. Brilliantly acted.
atheists bad both except offending people religion seems starting struggling
Like, my feelings on religion are starting to morph. I'm still very much an atheist, except that I don't necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that's a weird thing that I'm struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.
jobs inspiration waiting
The truly great actors, like Charlize Theron, are just like, "I'm an actor. For hire. I show up, I do my job." There's no "I'm just waiting for the inspiration." They just do their jobs. They say, "Let's go over the scene a few times and get it."
hate sidekicks i-hate
I hate all sidekicks.
