Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. There are jokes I tell in the show that don't get laughs unless I am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. Put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! The guileless aren't our audience - it's the critical thinkers we love.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I learned at an early age that I could make the things that I wanted. That's a very powerful thing to realize as a kid. LEGOs were a key part of that.

This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'

I'm not gonna shoot anyone with the pellet gun... Not unless I have to!

There's few things that get you over your own crap more than working hard.
