Many times I see you as a portrait of torture.

I would just like say to you with all my heart is that most everybody I know who does interesting creative work, they went through a phase of years where they had really good taste and they could tell what they were making wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be.
Ira Glass
I don't think I've ever stolen anything.
Ira Glass
I dont meet many people who are talking about shows on Showtime.
Ira Glass
But you can make good radio, interesting radio, great radio even, without an urgent question, a burning issue at stake.
Ira Glass
It's not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he's fun to read out loud.
Ira Glass
The truth is, I just don't have that much time to see movies. So if I get two hours where I can actually see a film, I don't want to go backwards, I want to go forwards.
Ira Glass
Brad Pitt is really game to talk about whatever and is really fun to talk to and was totally up for discussing anything.
Ira Glass
We live in a world where joy and empathy and pleasure are all around us, there for the noticing.
