It is good to be God, yeah. It’s nice to get the recognition that I’ve been working so hard for.
When you’re doing lots and lots of episodes and you’re playing the same character, it’s great because you really get to know the character and it becomes a really fast style and you find subtleties in it.
I occasionally go to a yoga class. Everyone looks so limber and coordinated compared to me. I feel like I scare my classmates.
I suppose “giving without expecting anything in return” isn’t something new, but it always pushes your happy button when you do it or see it.
I grew up with a family that had very little and were at times homeless.
Being a father is like directing Alien or Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It’s much more difficult than directing an episode of TV. Also, directing a show or movie lasts a few months at most, parenting lasts for decades.
Helping others pulls us out of our own problems. And so does dressing up like frogs and playing leap frog in a Starbucks. Who would’ve known.
Being God is not all it’s cracked up to be, and it’s not as easy as one would think it would be. You’d think the deck would be really stacked in your favor as God, but of course, I’ve run into some pretty big obstacles and problems.
I’ve been a river kayaker for a long time and I’ve done quite a few trips. I like kayaking and I like canoeing. I don’t really like being on yachts or sailboats or cruise ships. I don’t like anything that’s large and not human-powered.
I’m not actually pop culture or social media savvy. I really didn’t know what Twitter was when I created an account.
Well, I like to write poetry. I’m a published poet.
If i write a book it will probably be a book about how not to use the internet or a book of poetry.
The image of a person completely covered in cotton candy made me laugh the most. I’m not sure why. To me, being tarred and feathered in sugar is just good comedy.
I’ve been compiling a list of art project ideas for a long time. These are ideas of things I would love to see someday. They range from the practical – jackets with woodstoves in them – to the sublime – images of nuns on waterslides.
If you can dress as a stormtrooper and go to a laundromat, or wear a sexy cheese gown in public, you might start to find “normal” social interactions a little less daunting.
I’ve never done too much inquiry into angels.
I think there are presences out there that we can’t see or directly communicate with that have benevolent influence on us. Whether they’re angels or something else, I’m not sure.
I am a frustrating interviewee. I’m like Ronald Reagan. I don’t remember and I don’t recall.
As an actor, if you want to while shooting, you can run back to your trailer and take a nap. But you cannot do that while directing.
A lot of times you see really good-looking guys on TV and you sort of assume that maybe there’s some sort of vacuity behind them.
