I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future too like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.

I like today and perhaps a little future still but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So as far as I'm concerned I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know I don't care because I knew how it was.

Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather it is a deepening of the present and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour whatever he does whoever he is.

You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut destiny life karma whatever. This approach has never let me down and it has made all the difference in my life.

Again you can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut destiny life karma whatever. This approach has never let me down and it has made all the difference in my life.

It's funny though because when I first started going to races after we met I was extremely nervous. It's like being backstage and hoping you don't trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone so I was really hesitant.

Well I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny even if it's harsh or racist.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

And of course Marc Cherry heightens it and makes it hilarious. But there's so many universal themes in the show and he made it so funny. We knew he was onto something if he could keep it up and thankfully he did.

A film that I love is 'Raising Arizona' and that's funny but it's quite indie and weird and odd and quirky. I'd love to do something like that. Who knows?

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

It's funny the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast loose and improvised and get somebody to laugh.

I love New York. I was sad depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny have a distraction.

I wasn't even 20 at the time but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man a warm funny loving family man and turn him into a loser and worse.

Sometimes laughing isn't the best judge of what's funny 'cause I think there's a lot of things that are really funny that don't make you laugh that don't make you physically audibly make a noise but is something that is much more powerful than that.

Stealing you'll go far in life. Actually there is something funny about getting away with it.

Sometimes in the most tragic situation something just profoundly funny happens.

I think it's always funny when somebody thinks you're going to do something super sexy and then you don't.

With Portlandia I don't think our intention is always to find something funny. Sometimes the humor comes from taking something really seriously. We're okay with making somebody feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

And there's a visceral fun in watching Team America and making it like taking a puppet and throwing it against the wall. Because it's not CG there's something funny about it.

If I'm in something funny I like to try and find some kind of serious line in it that people can relate to.

I was going through a little bit of turbulence in my career. And so it's funny how turbulence itself will make you hold onto something for security. And so the only thing I knew is trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own heart in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.
