fun afterlife assuming
Since there is absolutely no logical reason to assume there is an afterlife, I decided to make the life I have now as much fun as possible.
smart people knows
Some [people] are really smart. You know who you are. Some [people] are really thick. Unfortunately, you don't know who you are.
hero men thinking
My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela. What a man. Incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990 and he hasn't reoffended. I think he's going straight, which shows you prison does work.
hurt feelings remember
Remember, no one can hurt your feelings without your permission
mean artist giving
There are good and bad critics like good or bad artists. A good critic says why they didn't like it. A bad critic gives it away that they don't like you as a person. I quite like that as well, because it means that I've won.
atheism belief claims
Atheism is the lack of belief in a god (or gods). It makes no claim. It merely rejects the claim that a god (or gods) exists. Nothing more.
thinking office special
I remember one review of The Office Christmas Special that compared it unfavourably to Dickens. What? You're saying I'm not as good as the greatest storyteller ever. Boo! Boo! I think I can live with that.
play loser fats
It will be great to play a short, fat sweaty loser for a change.
beach sailor complaining
To complain about critics in a business is like a sailor complaining about the waves. Go back to the beach if you don't like it.
years born feels
What will it feel like after you die? Exactly the same as it felt for those billions of years before you were born.
song moving dancing
I was okay with singing. I always sneak a song into everything I do. Dancing, a little awkward. Little embarrassed about that. I don't move well. But I was with a frog, so it doesn't matter. I'll do anything with a frog, that's my motto. He's great with tap-dancing or flap-dancing on my head. So no one's going to be looking at me when we're doing that dance. They're going to be saying, 'There's a frog dancing'.
computer hackers harder
Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on the computer.
please-me done common
I've never done anything for the common consensus. I do things to please me. If you are happy with something yourself, you become bulletproof.
ordinary-extraordinary honest starting
Being honest is what counts. To make the ordinary extraordinary is so much better than starting with the extraordinary.
