hurt digging-a-hole embarrassment
I know how much embarrassment hurts, and I love it as a theme because you can keep digging a hole. It's just an endless well, embarrassment.

Piracy doesn't kill music, boy bands do.
believe animal years
Whether you understand they evolved over billions of years or believe that a God made them all one afternoon, please be kind to animals.
atheist thank-god
I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.
digging breathe yeah
You can just keep getting it worse until you have to pull back and let the audience breathe. But yeah, I really love digging.
atheist thinking heaven
Being an atheist makes someone a clearer thinking, fairer person. They [atheists] are not doing things to be rewarded in heaven; they're doing things because they're right, because they live by a moral code.

That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.

America champions the underdog. We champion the underdog until he's not the underdog anymore, and he annoys us.
thinking issues office
That's what being nervous and sort of out of your comfort zone does. It's the same in "The Office" when a black guy comes to the office and all he thinks is `I better show this guy I'm not a racist.' So what does he do? Only talks about black issues.

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.
rain climbing people
Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
paris fans said
She said, 'I'm your biggest fan,' and I said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'Paris Hilton.'
block trying failing
Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.
criticism way what-you-love
The best way to avoid criticism is never do anything ever. Or, do what you love, have a great life & let others spend their time criticising.
