If you're wearing a Bluetooth thing and you've got that thing on your belt, you are working for somebody else. You are not the guy in charge. That's a really good social status indicator.

Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.

When I'm working, I'm going to avoid all media. No newspapers, no magazines, no movies, no radio, no TV. I'm just going to do creative work.

I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.

I just try to get people to laugh - I'm not trying to change the world or anything.

I can't do that. I'm already the single guy living in his parents' house. I can't be seen digging a grave in the middle of the night.

The TV season is a year-long thing now, and the networks are starting to look at it that way, thanks to cable, satellites, and competition.
