mean thinking awkward
I think we're the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It's not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.
real communication technology
[Internet] technology, like anything else that mankind creates is a tool and that tool can be used for good or for evil, like a light saber. Technology is supposed to bring people together, streamline things and make life easier and in a lot of ways it does that. However, technology can also disconnect you from other people and break down the social network, the real social network of family and friends and interpersonal communication, and isolate people, make them feel alone, make them feel small. So it's a tool that needs to be used correctly.
teenager islands long
We've seen that there are a lot of people out there - teenagers in Topeka, housewives in Long Island, millionaire Internet start-up moguls - that all want to connect with each other about what it is to be human.
unique interesting awkward
What's interesting is the show allows for the awkward pauses to be captured, which makes it stylistically unique, especially for American audiences.
art book museums
I don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
successful views people
Our society is all about focusing on the externals, "These people like me, I'm successful because of these people, they view me as being good" and we need to take that vision and instead of expanding it outwards we need to look inside ourselves.
believe thinking people
I think that charity is a tricky thing, because a lot of times, people equate charity with handouts. I don't believe in handouts.
people heartfelt stories
Some of the most morally conscious, kindest, most compassionate people are in the entertainment industry, people who want to affect the world and make it a better place through telling human, heartfelt stories.
men light america
The great challenge working on this show for me is wearing polyester all day long and having the worst haircut known to man at the top of my head and sitting under fluorescent lights. That is America, people. Polyester, bad haircuts, under fluorescent lights.
jobs boys years
A guy may wear a suit and have a high-paying job and appear very mature, but essentially, he's a 14-year-old boy.
kings age want
I want to keel over on stage playing King Lear at age 99 or something like that.
school years class
I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.
giving laughing people
I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.
add pounds cameras
The camera adds ten pounds and ten thousand dollars.
