In some theoretical way I know that a half-million people hear the show. But in a day-to-day way, there’s not much evidence of it Picture Quote #1

It’s not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he’s fun to read out loud Picture Quote #1

One reason I do the live shows - and the monthly speeches at public radio stations - is to remind myself that people hear the show, that it has an audience, that it exists in the world. It’s so easy to forget that Picture Quote #1

At some point, all comics have to go out and be retail salesmen doing door-to-door. And this idea of somebody who totally knows their craft having to get up for free in front of a crowd to work out some stuff they’re thinking in their head, still, after as much success as you can get, is really interesting Picture Quote #1

Harry Potter to me is a bore. His talent arrives as a gift; he’s chosen. Who can identify with that? But Hermione - she’s working harder than anyone, she’s half outsider, right? Half Muggle. She shouldn’t be there at all. It’s so unfair that Harry’s the star of the books, given how hard she worked to get her powers Picture Quote #1

I just feel like there’s so many movies I haven’t seen that I want to see, that I would never go back to the same one. It’s funny because all my friends, they have movies that they’ve seen over and over again Picture Quote #1

The TiVo is really an amazing machine. Like everyone who has one, I totally recommend it. Just as everyone who’s married will tell you to get married, and everyone who has a baby tells you to have a baby, everyone who owns a TiVo will tell you to get a TiVo, and they’ll say things like ‘Your life will be completely different.’ It’s true Picture Quote #1

When I was a bad writer, I would consciously imitate other NPR writers who I thought were wonderful. I suppose that everyone’s artistic practice is different. But I collaborate and sometimes don’t agree at all with my collaborators’ opinions. It forces you to understand why you don’t agree with something: what’s the fight you’re picking Picture Quote #1

I feel like dance, by its nature, goes so easily to grand and beautiful Picture Quote #1

But sadly, one of the problems with being on public radio is that people tend to think you’re being sincere all the time Picture Quote #1

I love traveling. But I haven’t had big, transformative experiences while on the road. When I go out on the road, it’s to go out and get a story or do a promotional event Picture Quote #1

Brad Pitt is so good-looking there’s a lightbulb inside of him shooting good-looking-ness in all directions Picture Quote #1

Brad Pitt is really game to talk about whatever and is really fun to talk to and was totally up for discussing anything Picture Quote #1

Traditional broadcast media seems old-fashioned and vague to me. When I watch television news, I’m aware of what skilled journalists they are, but I find it hard because of the corny way they present it Picture Quote #1

People are generally forced to change. We don’t want to change, and then something absolutely forces us to realize that what we are doing isn’t working or that our picture of the world is wrong. We fail. So we change Picture Quote #1
