Stop whining about getting old. It's a privilege. A lot of people who are dead wish they were still alive.

The desire to work with Burrows-Charles was really to change NBC's identity, to say, "We want to be in the sophisticated-adult-comedy business."

To some people, not caring is supposed to be cool, commenting is more interesting than doing, and everything is judged and then disposed of in, like, five minutes. I'm not interested in those kinds of people. I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails or looks stupid; who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell, and laughs. But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down.

The great thing about taking big chances when you're younger is you have less to lose, and you don't know as much. So you take big swings.

Talented men are not threatened by talented women. They welcome them. And same way with real men.

I cannot stress enough that the answer to life's questions is often in people's faces. Try putting your iPhones down once in a while, and look in people's faces. People's faces will tell you amazing things. Like if they are angry, or nauseous or asleep.

The earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have, and not obsess about what you don't have, the happier you will be.
