This life that has been given to us as a gift as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it really try to recognize it is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful.

When I see a good singer I get teary-eyed. Part of it is jealousy because all comedians are frustrated rock stars. That's a fact.

And when they encounter works of art which show that using new media can lead to new experiences and to new consciousness and expand our senses our perception our intelligence our sensibility then they will become interested in this music.

Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang - even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me.

I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts $400 million $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?

I think my imagination dictates the technologies I use. But at the same time my imagination can be technologic. Sometimes I see a tool and I know immediately how to use it but most of the time I use the tool for an idea I already have.

I think humor is important for all of us and a great comedian is a great treasure.

Every time I've done comedy in like traditional comedy clubs there's always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they're just you know doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing like very kind of base sex humor a lot and stuff like that.

You can't do anything to be funny. That's cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time you don't make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.

Sure the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs but they're uncomfortable laughs.
