You are about to start the greatest improvisation of all. With no script. No idea what's going to happen, often with people and places you have never seen before. And you are not in control. So say 'yes.' And if you're lucky, you'll find people who will say 'yes' back.

Bill Moyers is everything I never aspire to be: Calm, Thoughtful, and Informative.

Take the platypus - that is not a finished product. It is clearly still in beta.

If I had a dime for everytime that I was wrong, I'd be broke.

So, if I'm no cheerleader of sports, why write a chapter about it? Sports do have some positive impact on society. They solve problems, such as how to get inner-city kids to spend $175 on shoes. They serve as a backdrop for some of our most memorable commercials. And they remain the one and only relevant application of math. Not only that, but we have sports to thank for most of the last century's advances in manliness. The system starts in school, where gym class separates the men from the boys. Then those men are taught to be winners, or at least, losers that hate themselves.

They say the only people who tell the truth are drunkards and children. Guess which one I am.

For me, improvisation is about working with a partner. That is much easier to do in the interview, because you have a sounding board.
