What I was trying to say in that bit, without saying it out loud, is that there were things - you're right, everything is very politicized these days, literally down to what kind of coffee you drink - that I used to fight with people about. And by the way, not just people like Republicans and Christians, but liberal friends of mine and very radical left-wing types, and alternative, indie types.

Just think of yourself as starting from zero every time. That's what I do with every new role. I'm at zero, and I'm going to do the work.

There's something kind of beautiful about that pure love of things. Like, "I'll show that I love the thing I love by hating everything else."

When you act, you're being asked to pretend in a very rigid, controlled environment. It's very un-childlike. So a lot of times, when you put kids in that situation, you hope they have a better support system outside of what they're doing to bring them back to reality at the end of the day and to keep them well-rounded.

It’s the method of consumption, not what’s on the plate.

If you hit a midget on the head with a stick, he turns into 40 gold coins.

Stand-up is something I just truly love to do, so I'll always go back to it. I'll never stop doing it, that's for sure.
