I would just like say to you with all my heart is that most everybody I know who does interesting creative work, they went through a phase of years where they had really good taste and they could tell what they were making wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be.

I dont meet many people who are talking about shows on Showtime.

I wish somebody had given me the news that ideas don't just fall on your head like fairy dust. You have to treat that like a job. You have to spend hours each day, where you're just like, 'This is the part of the day when I'm looking for an idea.'

I remember when I first got married, there was a certain amount of internet traffic on the subject of, "Who is this beard who is allegedly married to Ira Glass? Obviously, he's gay."

Honestly, I don't see movies more than once.

You'd think that radio was around long enough that someone would have coined a word for staring into space.

Honestly, there are so many things about structuring a story for film and telling a story for film that are really different from doing radio.
