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.

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

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

I was prom king. Which is actually saying I was the sixth most popular, because the five who were on homecoming were automatically disqualified from prom, so of course I have to look at it that way.

No, I don't know any Emily Dickinson poems!

I've always tried to be nice to people, so that sort of translates into popularity, I guess.

My ability to notice that kind of thing, the sanctity of the bubble that you create, has not been so good in a way, in that I notice it concurrently with actually doing the thing. I always notice it in retrospect.
