My stand-up is quite good now, people say. It's just like a big conversation each time. Every gig is a rehearsal.
The one worry that I always have with TV is that it's such a long commitment. You sign on to be there for a good amount of time, and then you can't go and do films and things like that.
If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure. It transcends all barriers.
Every time you go to the doctor and get a good report, the odds keep staking more in your favour.
A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time.
You can go to the doctor a million times if you're feeling down, and get nowhere, but if you go for a run it makes you feel really good.
Today we're just growing and consuming, and I think maybe there's a sadness in that. People are longing for a time when there was a black and white and good and bad.

There are times over different projects when I've asked the writers why people are swearing for no good reason. I tell them that it would be funnier if there weren't these swear words.
I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.
I say the stupidest stuff, all the time, off of Twitter, and so I think Twitter is good way for people to get to know the stupid side of me.
I can be a good listener. I can ask the right questions a lot of the time.
I rarely buy a shoe that is completely specific to a time and outfit. I generally tend to spend money on good shoes that can go with everything.
When I'm able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I'm able to make some pretty good plays.
Studios are an assembly line. They can be a very good assembly line. As a producer, you concentrate on one project at a time. As an executive, you're in charge of a slate.
Basically, if you believe in Moore's Law, and you believe that hosting is going to become more and more commoditized over time, not being a host is a good idea.
I've hung out in the writer's room a few times, but the fact is we've got such a good writing staff, I don't want to get my peanut butter fingerprints on anything.
'True Blood' is one of those shows that is so deep and good that you can't have it on in the background. It's one of those shows that you have to dedicate time to.
I think that's the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there's not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.
