Ira Glass
I think the most famous person I've ever met is Brad Pitt.
Ira Glass
But you can make good radio, interesting radio, great radio even, without an urgent question, a burning issue at stake.
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
I don't think I've ever stolen anything.
Ira Glass
Honestly, I don't see movies more than once.
Ira Glass
Many times I see you as a portrait of torture.
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
We're Jews, my family, and Jews break down into two distinct subcultures: book Jews and money Jews. We were money Jews.
Ira Glass
I dont meet many people who are talking about shows on Showtime.
