A lot of things inspire me - especially pain.
Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
I am not a member of the chamber of commerce for show business, believe me, but there are some really good people in the business, and [Tom] Hanks has this everyman decency onscreen, but he actually is that guy.

Think for a moment of the great agents and engines of our civilization, and then think what shadowy ideas they all once were.

We have this saying, and it's been very useful when a series, 'The Mindy Project' goes for longer than a hundred episodes, which is Mindy character can never get what she wants when she wants it.
