important ability honestly
To make something, you have to work within your abilities. Honestly assess what you can do and even more important, what can't you do.
four life mile miles million months next road time trying weeks
I'm really just trying to hash out the next two weeks of my life, ... So, something that is potentially four months down the road is not just a mile down the road for me, it's a million miles down the road.
expect people
I don't know that I appreciate things more because of how I grew up, but I am very realistic with what I expect out of people and what they expect out of me.
almost bond connection inside literally movies name tv
I've never really broken this down before, but, in movies, you almost have no connection to fans. And if you do TV, you're kind of connected, but they know you as the TV name not your real name. If you do radio, there's more of a bond there. And then if you do a podcast it's like you're literally inside of your fans.

right now, I hope it's later rather than sooner.
open salmon taking
should be like a salmon taking to open water.
sports dream writing
That's the thing I love about sports: sports force you to quit. You can't pursue your dream till you're 46. When it comes to acting, writing, comedy, nobody ever stops you.
mystery motto my-motto
My motto is "more mystery, less history".
sex animal thinking
We're all animals, that we all respond to the same stimuli. If you want to motivate somebody not to have premarital sex, or motivate black bears not to go diving into dumpsters, first you have to think about why they do it. Telling them to stop isn't going to help. There has to be some incentive for them to alter their behavior.
practice people paper
A lot of people would say, to be truthful is to tell all, every dalliance, every crisis. They might be right on paper, but in practice, it's not a great way to go.
book reading creative
The truth is we're all probably more creative than we realize, except we spend our lives watching TV or reading somebody else's book. We never pick up a brush and stand in front of our own easel.
