In e-commerce, your prices have to be better because the consumer has to take a leap of faith in your product.
The film industry brings people together, and so does technology. I see them as similar platforms.
I think the reward for doing comedy is doing the comedy itself. You get to go to work everyday and laugh and make other people laugh and to me there’s no greater reward than that.
I never quit my job until I had my next job.
I certainly don’t think I’m deserving of taking up space forever as a human. There’s a whole generation of people yet to be born that are going to be so much more evolved than I am. I don’t want to take up space. They’re going to be better equipped to make the world a better place than I am.
I’ve usually found that the greatest rewards in my life come from taking on things that are a little bit scary.
Whether you like it or not, the digital age has produced a new format for modern romance, and natural selection may be favoring the quick-thumbed quip peddler over the confident, ice-breaking alpha male.
Although I considered putting my eight years of Boy Scout experience and love for our nation to the test by joining the military, I did not want to put myself in a position where I might be commanded to take the life of another, and quickly ended my flirtation with military service.
My mom’s whole side of the family, they’re all Packers fans. My mom’s a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly. My mom sits upstairs watching the Bears game; he sits in the basement. They can’t watch it together. Football’s a violent anger in our family dynamic.
I’ll watch a Keanu Reeves movie and I’ll go, ‘Wow, he’s really not a very good actor!’
I could never be with a woman who felt like she needs to change me.
If Facebook gets your entire social graph, you don’t necessarily want to share everything with your entire social graph. You might wanna parse that social graph. So there’s a company called PASS that is a private social network that I personally use for my friends and my family.
I’m very tech-forward. However, I also think hitting the pause button is not a bad thing, and really connecting with people one-to-one viscerally, having a connection with someone, is really important.
I would just like a woman someday, somewhere, at some point in my life to say to me, ‘You’re a great listener.’ Haven’t heard it yet, and that’s a superior compliment to get from a woman. But I’m going to work on it.
Scars are reminders of the obstacles we’ve overcome. Wear them proudly.
People used to behave morally because they thought God was always watching – in some ways God today is the collective, and the collective is watching.
My mom was more into the yelling. She was the enforcer. She was the one that laid down the law. My dad made up the rules, but my mom laid down the law. It’s not her words, it’s her tone that sticks with me.
The thing that enchants me the most is the ability women have to feel other people’s pain. The total empathy that women have is extraordinary.
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
The truth is that I’m an idiot. I am. I don’t do things by the rules sometimes. I say things that I probably shouldn’t say. I push buttons. I deserve to be made fun of. And I feel like, as soon as you can make fun of something, it instantly removes the fear.
