I get inspired when I look at Tom Lennon, who did Reno 911! for six seasons while writing huge movies and directing, and also doing other pilots; he did that FX pilot, the Star Trek thing.

You see people who are disenfranchised elsewhere coming to Comic Con and making lifetime friends. I love seeing the outcasts of society all bonding together.

Intimacy is really good. But then again, the first disk on the record is not intimate in the least. It's a really good CD.

Not everyone can be as successful a performer as myself, who gave 10 great performances the first time I ever did comedy, and then toiled in obscurity for years.

The podcast was kind of an afterthought, because I was just excited about being on the radio. Then I found that the podcast listenership is some 20 times what people are listening to on the radio.

Things go away and projects crumble and disappear, or you make your movie and it comes out and no one watches it.

That's one of the benefits of working with a smaller network like IFC. You're awarded more trust, but trust that I really earned.

I guess when I was a kid I wasn't the type of person playing a lot of pranks. I was the type of person upon whom pranks were pulled.

I love all of our subpodcasts.

Your average comedian doesn't know the podcast universe, really.

The best sketch shows are from a group of tight-knit people whove worked together for a really long time.

To crooked eyes truth may wear a wry face

The self-judging person will always judge others. The rubric we develop for ourselves, the measuring stick we put against our own mind and body, generalizes to every other human being.

Ego got you thinkin' you're workin' somebody to your advantage

The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed.

When I found out that coffins are padded, I stopped fearing death.

Kindness and freedom are not "has been" values in films and in life in general. And that we can still be young and free even if we are 70.

Death Is only the easy way out if you are the one who dies.

There is, though, nothing that prepares us for the worst things in our life. There is nothing you can do to stop the shock, or buffer the pain.

Art only begins where Imitation ends.

Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
