The goal is always about the next story. It’s always about the thing I haven’t done before. It’s about learning, or it’s about becoming better, and it’s about whatever story grabs hold of me.
Sketchy: I’m no stranger to stoner logic.
We are, all of us, incoherent text, and just knowing that – knowing that no matter how much you say, ‘I am this’ and part of you is not that – means that you can say it.
A vague disclaimer is nobody’s friend.
Back in my day, which was about a week and a half ago, we took our lumps and we got back up and we cried like babies and quit and then put on weight.
I’m totally cool. I’m totally calm, and I’m totally cool. My calm is exceeded only by my cool. Which is total. Here we go.
Try taking a stand on just one leg. You need to see both sides.
There’s a reason Tony Stark makes fun of ‘Thor,’ and mentions ‘Shakespeare’ in the park in ‘The Avengers.’ It’s great to play high drama and comedy alongside a modern story.

Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition.
