I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.

I still feel like a nerd.

I like when people are very passionate about what they want to write about. Even if it's silly, you can be very passionate about it.

I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.

If you develop 10 things, and you can get two or three made, that's a very high ration.

I feel like everybody's waiting for a job y'know, you can make a movie on your phone. And so there really is no reason to worry about how to get in with people- and you can do that, there's a lot to learn working for people -but you can just make a movie, where in the old days that was completely impossible.

Penn [Jillette] and Teller and I get along very well. We can call each other and say, "I'm working on this classic effect. Please, I'd like to do it for a while." We'll all respect it. There are people we don't get along with, but mostly there is a respect amongst the group.
