Americans don't need a metaphor for war. We have war. If anything, we use war as a metaphor for sports.

I suspect that when the truth ceases to be heartbreakingly funny, we will be in a better place and a happier society over all.

Just a small-scale cult of personality, maybe raise a geodetic dome out in western Massachusetts and make people wear jumpsuits and give all their possessions to me.

My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.

I think for the foreseeable future, the truth is going to be awful and funny all at the same time.

I realized that we're now at a point of self-reference with the Internet culture that there's almost no there left, you know? It's important to make new things. It's important to make culture, rather than simply reference it. I love a good cultural reference, and it's one of the great joys in my life, but it has to all be in balance with the core job, which is to make something new. And that sort of brings me around to why I started talking about my fondness for marijuana.

It was inevitable that in the proliferation of media and media channels and the natural debasing of authority that comes when you make an expert of someone who knows a few things and can be on television and you put the word "expert" underneath them, that is to say me, then eventually the very concept of expertise itself would become meaningless.
