The East is very mysterious to Westerners. Even post-Cold War, it's still an unknown entity.
Do your own thing. Speak in your voice.
Children are the most honest critics. They will say 'You're funny', but also 'You're pathetic - go away.'
You achieve the surreal jokes through the realism by making it elastic.
In the same way, there is some creature gnawing away inside of me, urging me to do things in different ways.
That's a rather flippant quote "drinking and writing bad poetry" from me. I mean, I said it, but I was doing other stuff too. I certainly didn't manage the full stretch of four years.
I don't want to do the same thing over and over again.
I have a very low level of recognition, which is fine by me.
The trend now is to get away from stage bound sitcoms.
The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.
America is this incredible mosaic of immigrants, so people really want to be anchored in some kind of culture as well as the one they are living in.
I enjoy performing, always, but when you're taping a gig, you've got to blank out this mass apparatus of self-consciousness that's surrounding you, this invitation to drown in self-consciousness. Otherwise you just won't be able to do anything.
I just wish I had longer. It's very frustrating. As you know, to people over here, cities like [Washington] D.C. are iconic. We know them so well. It's very frustrating to be in one of them for 36 hours and have a show to do because you can't really do anything.
If I hadn't done this I might have ended up digging the roads.
