It's very easy to attack ourselves. Even comforting in its familiarity, but you must resist this urge at all costs.

Bowling is all physics and energy distribution. It's F = ma. So it is actually one of the most science-y sports, because it literally is just a ball and a surface and objects to knock down.

Steal moments of happiness if you have to, and then collect them until they are the dominant images in your psyche.

If you're going into stand-up, you're hyper-analyzing the world and asking as many questions about a thing as you possibly can so you can figure out the ultimate nature of that thing.

If I wasn't acting or doing stand-up, I would be in animation. Or if I had the discipline I might studies physics.

If you can build your career around your passions, then you're winning in life that's one of the best things you can ask for.

Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.

I don't know why people don't want to talk about their numbers. I guess in a sense, there's a bit of performer nudity, a bit of ego nudity when you expose your numbers, I guess because someone's are higher or someone's are lower. I've never really talked about the numbers with anyone, so maybe I'm not supposed to.
