three netflix problem
The problem with binge-watching on Netflix is that you lose three days of your life.
ask blue inner isolated pine skies touch
I think being isolated like that let me really get in touch with my inner voice. I was able to ask myself without any distractions, 'What do you want to do with your life? Where do you want to go? What do you want to be?' And with nothing but blue skies and pine nuts, I was able to see the light.
amateur
Well, you know, I just did the old 'let's go down to amateur night,'
movies star three
he says. ''I've been able to star in three movies in my career, and I still haven't done that.
bit funny opposed outright relationship
If you're going to take a jab at someone, you should at least have a bit more of a personal relationship with them. I feel like you can be funny and clever, as opposed to just outright vile.
hang nightclub saying version wacky
If you were to come out and hang out with me, just having fun at a nightclub or a party, that's kind of the version of Harland you'd get - silly, kind of always saying wacky things.
bored filming funny outrageous people shows stuff stunts trying
I was walking around bored one day, and I started filming stuff with my cellphone. There are all these shows where people are trying to do these outrageous stunts, and I thought it would be funny to do all these stunts that aren't outrageous but then act like they are.
almost depends improvise portion wing
I always improvise with the crowd. Sometimes it will be a 50 percent show, sometimes 70 percent, sometimes it's almost a whole show where I wing it. It depends on my mood, the energy in the room. For sure, a portion of it is just kind of winging it.
absurd huge interested
Without sounding negative, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of stand-up. I'm more interested in an absurd kind of theater.
movies realized ton work
I'd done a ton of movies here in Hollywood, and I realized that every movie I'd done was somebody's else's work and someone else's vision.
normal piece subject toast twist whether
I try to take normal things - whether it's a serious subject or something as obscure as a piece of toast - and put a very weird twist on them.
character people
I think a lot of people think I'm doing kind of a character onstage, but what you're really getting is just me.
home sort throw
I sort of write onstage. I'll throw an idea out there, like Home Depot, and just start talking about it.
good mind people telling
I get a lot of people telling me that I'd make a good 'wacky neighbor.' I wouldn't mind that, if it was a starting-off point.
