Everything is more compelling when you talk like a human being, when you talk like yourself.

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.

I can only control what I can control.

But sadly, one of the problems with being on public radio is that people tend to think you're being sincere all the time.

The most important possible thing you can do is do a lot of work.

I think good radio often uses the techniques of fiction: characters, scenes, a big urgent emotional question. And as in the best fiction, tone counts for a lot.

The entire culture was organized for people who are happy. People who are miserable need reassurance that other people are miserable.
