I've got young kids, so it suits me to do a job which keeps me in town right now.
I think I'm just someone that just tries to get by. I'm kind of - if it was during the Second World War, I'd be a black marketeer, I think.
I hope what I do has an art to it, and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained.
I have to do a show which is of interest to me, or else I'm lost.
I dropped out of high school when I was 16, after I had a huge argument with my English teacher over the meaning of the word 'existentialism.'
I don't see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job.
I don't get emails from my corporate overlords.
I am probably a pseudo-intellectual.
Historically, when Americans don't know what to do next, they go to Paris. Benjamin Franklin is like: 'What am I going to do now? I'll go to Paris!'
HD doesn't mean anything to me. It's a technical thing. It's like demographics. A lot of people know about it.
Don't ever rope me in as a late-night talk show host. I don't want to be one.
Being an American is something I wanted to be for a very long time, probably since I saw the moon landing when I was a child.
All they teach you in drama school is how to do stage fights and be a pain in rehearsals.
A lot of people come to L.A. looking for something. What I came here for, I realize now, is to be okay with myself.
