creative littles enough
Oddly enough, the lack of money makes us a little bit more creative in a sense.
budget comics convince tv whatever
The most frustrating part of working in TV and film is that you have to convince someone to let you make what you want; in comics you can do whatever you want and for 1% of the budget of TV and film.
body good work
You're only as good as your body of work.
chance execute
The Internet is just a chance to do something. Nowhere else can you go, 'I have an idea, I can write this idea, and I can execute this idea.'
I saw every single movie when I was a kid.
cool cornered swim
Adult Swim has cornered this really cool market, especially for comedy shows.
blowing movies summer
Summer movies are all about things blowing up and you going, 'Yeah!'
writing backgrounds
My background is in improv and writing.
art new-york real
Everything is in New York or L.A. or whatever, but Chicago is more of, like, a real world. It has the art and the music, but it's more centered and grounded.
jobs stars crazy
Kiefer Sutherland is a crazy jerk on '24,' but you love him because he gets the job done. And I think that that goes for a lot of action stars, I mean Steven Segal is a jerk, but you want to watch him because, eventually, he's a jerk who can beat up bad people.
now-and-then bad-movies seeing
I love that experience of seeing a bad movie or a movie that you don't even know, and then experiencing it with your friend.
thinking giants would-be
It's funny to think of Dave Chappelle's show and how popular it was and he was before YouTube. I would imagine 'Chappelle's Show' would be even more giant if there was a chance to put his stuff online and pass it around.
sports fans chicago
There's no other place that exemplifies a fanatic as much as Chicago. I feel like sports fans have bred out of Chicago.
xbox wife limits
I'm married, and my wife has set out very limited Xbox limits. But if I had my druthers, I'd be playing all the time and never see any of my friends or do any work.
