You know that sadness and rage you feel about your money? That's the way some of us feel about people.

I think it was Fran Lebowitz who said that there are no writing prodigies. You have to have something to write about.

I don't care if my opinion falls on the right or the left. I'm more of what I call a passionate centrist. I just believe what I believe. I'm not trying to prove anything for the right or the left. Which gives me freedom to make jokes about either side, too.

It seems that there's a constant humbling - I don't know if that's the right word - because things are disproved all the time with new discoveries, at least that's the way it feels sometimes in the layman's world. Like, people will make proclamations of something to be true, and then 50 years later that's proven wrong because there's something else.

When you're in the eye of the hurricane, you're making the show - you just want the show to be good, you want it to be appreciated and those types of things.
