pessimist projects optimists-and-pessimists
I am such a pessimist that every project has surpassed what I envisioned.
artist favorite-artist vans
I have many favorite artists...Van Gough as one, but he didn't really sing a lot!
beautiful sexy interesting
There are so many things I'd like to change in the industry. Everything from the reliance of style over substance to their reluctance to hire me for big budget blockbusters, but the thing I would love most would be if they understood people don't have to be Hollywood beautiful to be sexy or interesting.
song smack
Every song a hit, every hit a smack!
weather wife giving
You know, if I don't make it when I go out there in that weather balloon into that thunder storm. I want, you to take your ear and give it to my wife.
fbi-agents agents kind
What kind of FBI agent are you?
trust guarantees-in-life everything-happens-for-a-reason
When I'm on stage, it's a little world I've created where I'm sort of the thing, so I have total control over everything that happens. When we're improvising, I'm with someone I totally trust. I know things are going to work out. I don't have those guarantees in life. There are no consequences on stage.
school band typos
You know, in the 1970's, when I was in high school, I belonged to a band called the Happy Funk Band. Until an unfortunate typo caused us to be expelled from school.
mean names people
Hi. There was a big accident, some people got decapitated, here are their names... You know what? That shirt really makes you look fat. I mean, the colour's all wrong... I mean, who shot the drapes?
thinking two challenges
I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.
kids two laughing
As a kid I watched television 24 hours a day and loved every minute of it. The two shows that always make me laugh and are therefore my favourites are The Dick Van Dyke Show and Fawlty Towers.
thinking artist stuff
But you know, we have more hits than you can possibly think about. One of my personal favorite artists is the wonderful artist named Cher. And although I love much of her late stuff, her early stuff was the stuff that I really, really loved.
hey faces
Hey, come on, I've seen younger faces on money. Money.
hard-work discipline talent
To be a dramatic writer takes hard work, talent, and discipline. And that's why I just make up crap.
