I am not an Internet superstar. I am, ironically perhaps, the most old media superstar of all time. My fame is due to broadcast television.

The nice thing about live performance is that I've never, ever been let down. Partly I'm lucky that my audience self-selects itself. Generally they know what they're in for, and generally we all just like each other and get along. But I always find one or two or a dozen really interesting people in the audience who make the show different. And that's one of the things I really like about performing.

Everything we make in life, eventually, is sold for a dollar or a penny or given away.

I actually own a copy of my own book; that's how dedicated I am as an author.

There is no ritual that enhances creativity other than just starting.

I think in American culture, we put value on economic success but tell people you don't have to be economically successful to be happy.

A lot of media that that I want to consume, I don't want to have to own forever and ever. It's not like real estate.
