I am absolutely and inherently self-destructive in that I am always making sure I'm doing what I want to do.
What's important is passion, investment, and people laughing out loud as they work.
I've never done well when I've been appreciated. I've done best when I'm targeted for death.
I am a collaborator with everyone who agrees that I need to be in control. I happily collaborate with my loyalists.
I feel like I am a good person and a professional, very able leader of men.
I walk with God, and He protects me. That may very well be true. I don't mean to make that sound like a joke, in case He is in charge.
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
I love '30 Rock.' It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
Yoda is interesting because, in addition to being wise, he is two feet tall, and a Yoda.
Always hedge your bets. That's how I do it. I lay all my bets on what I can contribute, and suffer no illusions that I'm generating stuff by myself.
Class clowns are never allowed to date anybody decent, but you don't get beaten up, you're invited to parties, and everybody likes you.
The language we're exchanging, the fillings in our teeth, the pavement on the road outside, everywhere you look, for better or for worse, you're going to see evidence that accepting reality is not a human's tendency, and not what we're good at, and not, in my speculation, what God or Natural Selection hired us to do. We've been hired, by this universe, to dream, to aspire, to make things that weren't real real - and because that involves a lot of failure, we're damn good at doing that, too.
My cat brought me a toy. I thanked her and threw it. She sat there gave me a look that made me realize people and dogs are the crazy ones.
With an animated show you can make a banana purple. You can put three hats on a cowboy. That would require several days of stitching, in live-action, that you wouldn't be able to afford. I mean, you can just do tons and tons and tons.
