The best thing about me is there are no skeletons.

I love Tinkle, it's really the most fun I've had in years.

I'll think of the idea and then I'll write something down, then within that there will be a joke or two which is the original thing which I thought was funny.

Nobody is going to be as bad for free thinking, right-minded individuals than George Bush.

Sketches have characters, exits, entrances and are vastly different.

The best thing about me is there are no skeletons.

Occasionally I'll watch Fox News for as long as I can tolerate it, or CNN. I'll watch until I get infuriated, but you got to know what they're talking about and what they're not talking about.

I remember being a kid and the Vietnam War was huge and looking at Watergate.

My biggest problem is retaining the exact information.

There were a number of referendums in '98 that most of the things I voted for passed. That's very satisfying when you feel that most of the country is in step with your views.

I love doing stuff with Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin. We give the stage to good bands and funny people.

I lived in LA for almost nine years and if I never went back there again it would be fine.

As for Tenacious D, of course it could work as a full length movie; all it requires is a great writer and great director with an ability to think outside of conventional film comedy.

I also try to think of ways to articulate the joke more economically.

Besides if people really want to support the troops they would vote democrat.

Originally they wanted me to be Buster but I really like the Tobias part.

You can't just yell jokes at people.

I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.

I'd be curious to find out, but I don't think people in the entertainment industry are proportionally more or less serious politically than anyone in the landscaping industry.

We should just get somebody from the left and the right and they should all throw bumper stickers at each other and the first one to cover the other one wins.

In New York there isn't that weird palpable competitive thing where it's friendly but everyone isn't trying to top one another with jokes when you're just hanging around.

I think people, for the most part, actually want what they think is best.

It's not about trying to be funny all the time. It's more of a document that hopefully is funny.

I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.

I don't think HBO would want to do anything in conjunction with Sub Pop but I never asked either.

I have no hesitation doing children's movies. Zero. And I don't even have kids.

I'm of the mindset that most people who have kids are, which is, 'Hey, I want another me. I like me. I'm pretty cool, and I've got really great ideas, and the way I think is the right way to think. Let's put another one of me out there.' So I'll have kids one day.

I think comedy I've learned is really just about relaxing and trusting yourself and allowing yourself to fail.

I've started the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. The big focus is helping people get the correct diagnoses.

We must make working life more human.

To me, the more interesting villains are the ones you can, in some sense, relate to or sympathize with at times. Maybe you sympathize with them one moment; the next moment, they do something truly atrocious, and you feel bad you ever sympathized with them in the first place.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.

I am an optimist, and I believe that people are inherently good and that if you give everyone a voice and freedom of expression, the truth and the good will outweigh the bad.

A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.

Lessons are not given, they are taken.

When I was a kid, I never thought about anything. Never had to think about where I was going to school or what I was going to do. I just lived minute to minute.

I accept there are people out there who don't like me. I don't like them.

You cannot have companies where many of the largest ones lose money indefinitely without someone finally waving the white flag, and IBM is the most recent example of that.

A book comes and says, 'Write me.' My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.

Providing, meaning to a mass of unrelated needs, ideas, words and pictures - it is the designer's job to select and fit this material together and make it interesting.

I really love voice over work, because it lets you go crazy and have fun. You literally can go anywhere with it!

Back in my younger years, I read an average of a book a day. That was when I was going to school full time and working a job after school 30 hours or more a week.

There is something in even the darkest situations that we can make a positive in our lives.

Size has nothing to do with literature. All legs are long enough to touch the ground, and all books are big enough to fill their covers.

We are so proud of 'Unconditional'. I couldn't have been more honest in these songs, and I can't wait to see the impact they have. This record is exactly what it's supposed to be.

One good analogy is worth three hours discussion.

Social satire has been around since people have been around.

I like making movies that people feel inspired by, a film that they will think about a few days after seeing it, and not entertainment that is completely forgettable the moment you walk out of the theater.

We have been working with Habitat for Humanity and we have built eighty homes, 80% of which are being lived in by New Orleans' musicians. It is called the Musicians' Village and at the center is the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.
