“People are ready to do either, and the content has to work on both.”

It’s liberating, on one hand, because you get to show up in sweatpants and with Doritos on your fingers, but on the other hand, it’s limiting because it’s just your voice.

When I go back in to re-record a line. I’m the icing on the cake, but the cake is the thing.

It’s a different thing to just be a voice.

On a plane or on a train, or whatever, you see people with their headphones and they’re looking at their iPhone or their Galaxy.

The power lies in who can say no the most. But, real power, though, lies in the opportunity to say yes.

This cross-section of people they just happen to bring in to decide the fate of mankind on television is really scary.

I know that the vitriol and hyperbole that exists online, and the anonymity, can be deadly because it’s cloaked in negativity and it’s brutal sometimes.

More and more people are watching entertainment on their phones.

And then, there are the producers and the writers and the director on the other side of the glass, and what they want.

You have to be malleable to what’s going to work, and you have to stay in the framework of the context.

I wasn’t really a big comic book guy, growing up. I watched cartoons, but the choices were a whole heck of a lot slimmer.

If you ever go behind the glass and look at the focus groups that are deciding what you’re gonna watch, it’s scary.

People ultimately get what they deserve on TV.

I think people ultimately realize that, but not when they’re in the spotlight.

Nine times out of ten, I’m trying to meet someone else’s expectations, whether it’s the director or the writer or the animator

But there are people who are way better at it than I am.

Sleep and watchfulness, both of them, when immoderate, constitute disease.

The path to decision may be hard because it leads into the territory of both finiteness and groundlessness—domains soaked in anxiety.

If you take a needle and stick her in the booty and take a needle and stick me in the booty, we’re both going to say ouch.

But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That’s why I call it the most social of the various art forms.

Few things linger longer or become more indwelling than that feeling of both completion and emptiness when a great book ends. That the book accompanies the reader forever from that day forward is part of literature’s profligate generosity.

I’m not going to impugn anyone’s integrity. I’m not going to attack their character. And, in fact, I will happily praise both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio as men who I admire, as people who I’m not going to go personal with them.

In life, winning and losing will both happen. What is never acceptable is quitting.

I’m on a team with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and they both dress well. It gets competitive. If I don’t bring my A game, they’re going to outshine me.
