Nobody wants to have things blurted at them.

You've got to have gumption. You've got to be willing to stand up on the stage for no money for ten years.

I grew up an only child, so I was so much more adult. My eldest daughter is 10, and I was so much more of an adult than she is. She just doesn't care for the real world. She's not interested.

I'm good at asking other people questions, but I'm not really good at answering questions.

The worst thing you can do to a dictator is laugh at him.

Speaking for myself, I try to go out there on the stage and make jokes with people, so I'm not really thinking about the impact anything I have. If it does resonate with people, that's really great.

We definitely sometimes get stuff that's different that we were expecting. I mean, that's part of the joy and the terror of interviewing real, live people. Sometimes they come along the journey with you, and most of the time they don't.
