People think of taxes as money just being robbed from you. They don't consider the benefits of paying taxes. The benefits that they get and also the benefit of just being a part of a large group of people: a town, or a city, or a country, or a society that allegedly should stand together and all try to help each other.

You can't just sit around in leopard-print slippers and drink champagne all day and think everything's gonna work out somehow.

I hate this phrase, but it's a "can do" attitude [that's important] that, whatever you do in life, you should have.

My favorite sitcom of all time is 'Cheers.' That's a perfect example of how, like, people made fun of Cliff, but you never got the sense that they didn't like Cliff.

As a viewer of TV shows, I always like shows more when I just feel like the people in charge have a plan. You can just tell sometimes, 'Oh, there's a plan there. They have an idea for how this is going to unfold.'

All of comedy at some level is trial-and-error, whether it's a stand-up trying out jokes or a comedy show trying stories.
