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.

I love all of our subpodcasts.

Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables

I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level.

Sometimes, when I see my granddaughters make small discoveries of their own, I wish I were a child.

There is never enough time, unless you're serving it.

What's your hurry? There is nothing up ahead that's any better than it is right here.

Keith, how does it feel to be a genius?

There is no free market in oil.
