I am a bit of a workaholic, and I am still not sure what a "weekend" is all about. I love what I do, and I do what I love.

Business is full of pain and hardship and with that, laughter and release.

I love making things, like software, and films, and laughter. And working with Gus Silber, to make the Funny Business book, has been a fantastic journey.

I am tough minded, but not hard hearted.

Entrepreneurs need to listen. They don't need to be good listeners (although it can only help) but they need to know when to listen.

There is reason to smile and celebrate when you win, but when you struggle, that is about laughter. That is the pathos that is rooted in all comedy. And business is full of pain and hardship and with that, laughter and release.

You can't put passion and obsession into someone's employment contract - either you are or you aren't.
