bullshit curiosity fiction
I'm not a moron, but science fiction to me requires a suspension of disbelief and honest curiosity or fascination in that kind of bullshit. I've just never been able to make that jump, really. I like things to be more organic.
stuff bread bananas
There was a period when I was getting a lot of banana bread, because I mentioned someone cooked me banana bread, and then everyone cooked me baked stuff, and I would take it to the hotel, and it was making me fat.
distance cat self
My cats, the ones that I have, were feral when I found them so the relationship that I have with them 10 years in is very mutual, earned, and evolved over time. It was never an easy thing. I like that they have a certain distance and have their own sense of selves.
cat self way
There's something about cats' self-sufficiency and their seemingly individualistic ways that I find compelling.
europe information machines
The bile makes it better. I am an information wasting machine - 100s of words a day.
kids europe young
When I was a young kid I loved Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett and Jackie Vernon.
couple distance guitar
I didn't know that people compared Bill Hicks and I but certainly I'm flattered if they do. I knew Bill a bit. We had dinner a couple of times and played guitar together once. I really tried to keep my distance from him professionally.
special hopefully
Hopefully standup will become special again.
soul mind-your-own-business ego
Show business is one of the few businesses that the devil will actually agree to own just a portion of your soul because he knows if you have a performer's ego you were probably working for him all along.
school heart thinking
I think seeing Pryor's first movie, Live In Concert, when I was in high school changed my life. Pryor really put the heart in darkness for me.
distance book feel-better
The truth is, I can’t read anything with any distance. Every book is a self-help book to me. Just having them makes me feel better.
war stupid sadness
I’m glad to be part of the war on sadness. I’m a part time employee of the illusion that keeps people stupid.
people support endorsements
As a performer you are being used to keep people watching so the commercial endorsements that support the network can be seen by as many people as possible.
people needs world
Comedy is obviously a matter of personal taste and the world always needs a clown and some people have no taste at all and any clown will do.
