You've got to say 'yes' to your destiny. Life's happening right now, look around you. There goes some life. Come on, Mamma, live!
If I put forth a legitimate effort, then I feel like, if that doesn't work out, that's all I can do.
I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear - I'm not mad at anybody - not anymore.
There's not too many people that don't think I'm crazy, for walking away from so much money," he said. "I'm at a restaurant with my wife, it's a nice restaurant, we're eating dinner. I look across the room, I say, "You see this guy over here, across the room? He has $100 million." And we're eating the same entree. So, OK, fine, I don't have $50 million or whatever it was, but say I have $10 million in the bank. The difference in lifestyle is miniscule.
I'm an introspective dude.

The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. "I don't understand this person. So they're crazy." That's bullshit. These people are not crazy. They strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick.
I have a very good life, a high quality of life. I have both money and time. No one has that.
I always take a relationship to the next level. If that works out, I take it to the next level after that, until I finally reach that level when it becomes absolutely necessary for me to leave.
I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.
You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.
Stand-up is the kind of gig that'll show you where you're at.
Remember what the Bible says: He who is without sin, cast the first rock. And I shall smoketh it.
