artist devil deals
When you actually meet the devil and he offers you a deal most artists eventually negotiate.
art brain art-is
Art is supposed to punch you in the brain, and it's supposed to stay punched.
art struggle animal
We’re built to deal with death, disease, failure, struggle, heartbreak, problems. It’s what separates us from the animals and why we envy and love animals so much. We’re aware of it all and have to process it. The way we each handle being human is where all the good stories, jokes, art, wisdom, revelations, and bullshit come from.

There are also always those burnt, hard kernels at the bottom that don't pop. You know why they don't pop? They don't pop because they have integrity.

The worst thing about living in this world, in general, is that things get overwhelming, and things cause a tremendous amount of despair and anxiety.
anxiety panic different
I don't really compartmentalize well. I'm in a state of anxiety and panic a lot, but it's for different reasons. It used to be because I had nothing going on, but I work very hard and there doesn't seem to be an end to it.

I'm proud to be part of a generation where reading is a 'look.'
notebook new-york guitar
When I was a young comic in New York and I wasn't getting any work, I was wandering around the Lower East Side with my notebook. I would stop at the guitar place on St. Mark's and talk to that dude for a while, then I'd go to the bookstore and talk to that dude for a little while. I had a guy over at the record store, and I'd talk to him for a while. It kept me connected to life.
beautiful talking people
Conversation is a beautiful thing. When I was a younger guy, just wandering around talking to people was what kept me connected to the world.
matter bother wells
I'm not fundamentally a writer. I know writers, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. It bothers me that no matter how well I do it, it's not really my format.

I find that if I don't do interviews, I get a little squirrely. I think that when you engage with someone else, or when you engage in something you're passionate about, you're sort of out of your own head.
arguing sometimes controversy
I don't seek controversy. I don't seek to antagonize. Sometimes it happens, but I'm not there to argue politics.
