I still feel driven to try to make great shows and to make each episode great.
I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.
I've always loved the rock & roll element to live shows, because whatever else I do, I'm basically a rockpop performer, and that's what I like.
Now I'm going to put my eyelashes on and stretch my legs out and do a show.
The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.
I do remember the moment when, as a child, I realized that the things we call 'TV shows' are really just the stuff that gets put between commercials. Later, I came to see that the kinds of things that get on 'free' TV are shows that help sell products.
Good-breeding shows itself most where to an ordinary eye it appears the least.
At 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.
Well, if you're talking about perfection, I'll show you the image of my backside.
I like big shows, a lot of volume and a lot of energy. I love electric instruments. But I do love mixing those with bluegrass instruments and cranking those up, too, with a little bit of that rock energy.
I've seen too many comics who got their own shows and were undone because they worked for an executive producer who didn't understand their comedy or their sensibility.
Deadwood was one of the most amazing experiences Ive ever had. I just loved that show.
Everyone goes through all kinds of relationship situations. I'm lucky that I get to be on two comedy shows [during divorce].
I had two major activities as a child. I was trying to put on shows with kids in my street, or I was drawing. Actually, what I'm doing now is exactly what I was doing then. Either I'm drawing, or I'm gathering people for a common project. The only difference is that now they are paying me for that.
I hurt easy, I just don't show it. You can hurt someone and not even know it.
Show people how to have success and then you can push their expectations up.
And I think if you're going to be with somebody, you owe it to them to show yourself.
New research shows that you will be dead longer than you will be alive.
Years passed and I hadn't really done much writing. Other than the fact that I'm constantly developing new shows, writing up proposals and stuff.
My images are not images of reality, but show a kind of second reality, the image of the image.
