You
(page 25)
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.
Trauma creates one of four types of people: victims, rescuers, or perps — and if you're really lucky and really strong and very willing and brave, survivors.
I think 'Nathan for You' is a really funny show, along with 'The Grinder' and 'Baskets'. I really like 'Man Seeking Woman'. It's the coolest show because they just do weird stuff, and it doesn't feel weird; they make it normal somehow, which I applaud. And 'Broad City' — I think those guys are awesome.
I'm ridiculously fortunate to get a chance to experience the sitcom world. The schedule is extremely easy, and you get fed as an artist because you're not only working on a project, but you get to work with cameras, and you get the audience there.
You could see the flames and the outer skin of the spacecraft glowing; and burning, baseball-size chunks flying off behind us. It was an eerie feeling, like being a gnat inside a blowtorch flame.
Let's face it — no matter how independent you are, you still have this nagging need to be desired.
Have a bias toward action — let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one.
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
You've got to look at the promises I kept. It's not just talking about doing things: it's doing them.
I think leadership is something you earn, more through actions than words.
To be successful in anything, you have to have a passion for it, and that leads to being enthusiastic and demanding. I didn't have it for history. So I wouldn't have been a good teacher in that area. But I had it for basketball. And that's what coaching is at every level: it's about teaching.
You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem's living proof.
As long you are doing what you love and making decisions from the heart, you will be successful.
If you're saying the same line 10 times and making it look like you just came up with it, that's acting.
Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
