I'm not that professional.

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

I never just sit down and see what's on TV anymore. And also, I hate almost everything, so that keeps you reading magazines and doing crossword puzzles or whatever.

I actually find something rewarding about that tension between satisfying myself and satisfying others. Because first of all, I can't provide my own structure, and that tension provides a structure for me to actually work within.

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

Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.

It is rare, with people who are on television or celebrities or actors - it's rare to go to their house for a party and find they cooked. That's rare. Usually people don't cook for their own parties, and they don't buy their own gifts. There are people that do that, and that is a special thing. Those kind of little human touches are nice.
