corey good people record touch
There are people who are genetically made to start record labels, and I'm not one of those people. People just have it in their blood and are good at it. Corey Rusk from Touch and Go and Ian MacKaye. These are people who have made their own labels.
art billions built city entertainment great named people statues streets
When people say that L.A. doesn't have a culture, I think it really does: a very old culture, and very specific. There's streets named after entertainers, and statues of entertainers, and it's great. Entertainment is still art, even if it makes billions of dollars. So it's like a city built on entertainment, and art in a way.
mean people dying
I loved our [music] discussion. I live for discussions like that. It's my favorite thing because it means that people care about music, and actually have an opinion. I feel like it's dying. Everyone is just really like, they take a step back, but to actually have conviction about what's good and bad: love it.
night people complaining
I spent a lot of time lifting my drums into a van, playing to ten people night after night. I can't complain about anything now.
nice names people
People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.
people details attention
I like it when people are driven. I love that in any field of work, in architecture or whatever. Like Lorne Michaels - he pays attention to every detail.
writing people wish
I wish I was one of those people who could write script after script and pages and pages. I can only aspire to do that.
nice night people
I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and I really feel like people who have left before me have always stayed with the show. They never really quite left, which is nice. Everyone kind of stays close.
coffee oregon people
When I first started going to Portland, people told me about Stumptown. They were like 'Oh, it's the best coffee,'and I thought, 'How good could it really be?' I'm like, 'Sure, great, uh... I'd love to see it.' But then when I went, it truly, I am not kidding, is the best coffee I have ever had.
night people guy
I enjoy getting to work on 'Saturday Night Live', where I get to do people like David Paterson. And then, its like a different muscle to do someone like a bicycle guy on' Portlandia'.
mean people trying
I try to maintain a high level of coolness. Which means I've gotta look at lot of magazines. I've gotta look at a lot of ads to see what people want to wear.
people portland young
Portland is where young people go to retire.
graduation people want
Avoid people who tell you that something you want to do is not possible.
cities people personality
I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.
