My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.

It's not that weird, but when I was in Peru, I ate a guinea pig. If you're going to eat guinea pig, you call it cuy. Cute word for such a cute little animal that I ate a few times.

If you're a writer, you have to be an egomaniac. You have to just believe in yourself, which is hard work.

Nobody wants to die feeling that they have not sung their song.

Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof.

Preparation, mastery, can help you overcome your fear, but mastery alone is not enough. There has to be something you want that’s worth more to you than your fear.

In the end we must have people to match our principles, not the reverse.
