creative progress want
As a creative person, you want to have a foothold and sense of progress.
paper towels firsts
Automatic paper towel dispensers are a solution to something that was never a problem in the first place.
camping waterfalls plus
Canoe plus waterfall equals I don't go camping anymore.
running workout yelling
I go the gym and I try to run on the treadmill and I listen to music but it doesn't motivate me enough. So I'm going to get a recording of a pack of wolves gaining on me. People would be like, 'Why is that guy crying on that treadmill over there?' 'I don't know, but he's been yelling, 'help' for like 20 minutes. He's getting a good workout.
coffee cups bras
Coffee is like a bra. 3 cups is one too many.
gay fighting men
It's hard to know what's gay in life. Boxing. That's two men fighting over a belt.
gun water trying
When watering your plants, try to talk to them - say something like, Hold it right there and then shoot them with water gun.
distance thinking hair
I think hair gel was invented to make it easier to identify assholes from a distance.
girl laughing done
I've often liked a girl, made her laugh, and thought she liked me, and then found out that she didn't like me that way. I've definitely done time in the friend zone.
thinking firsts hard
I think, at first blush, the '60s always enticed me. There's something about the '60s, it's not hard to like it.
years people house
I like stand-up. But I'd also like a family and house and a yard. I want to work with a lot of people, have colleagues; and on good film sets, there's people there that work with the same people for years and years. I love that collaborative spirit in that medium. Comedy is a lot more solitary.
thinking role-models people
It's funny: when people always talk about the importance of role models, I used to think that was so exaggerated, but as I get older, I start to realize I don't feel that way so much anymore. If you see somebody like you who's doing something, an older version of what you are, it does make you feel like it's more possible.
hate thinking people
I do come across people who don't like me, don't like my comedy, don't think it's funny, it's too cutesy, or whatever they hate. And it's like, 'Okay. That's your opinion. Somebody liked it, so that's good.' Hopefully it balances out.
television rope velvet
I tend to avoid televisions, politics, and places with velvet ropes.
