Tell me what you want, and then I'll put in what I want... after I'm done with my codependent providing for you, I'll get a little for me too.

If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.

I'm not that professional.

Well, I refer to Celebrity Jeopardy as the short-bus Jeopardy, because it is a lot easier. Like, there was a whole column basically naming stores in New York.

Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.

I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.

The thing that's important for me to focus on is the balancing of the tension between satisfying myself and satisfying an audience, and making something that I think is good and funny, worthwhile, small-"i" important, versus something that's going to do well.
