Every thought we think is creating our future.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

When I turned about 12 or 13 I realised that being funny wasn't about remembering jokes. It was about creating them.

Movies don't look hard but figuring it out getting the shape of it getting everybody's character right and having it be funny make sense and be romantic it's creating a puzzle. Yes having been a writer for so long I have an awareness of when things are going awry but it doesn't mean I know how to fix them.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.

The kind of funny irony is that a lot of people talk about ethical meat eating as if it's a way to care about things but also not to alienate yourself from the rest of the world. But it's so much more alienating than vegetarianism.

If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth inventor of television we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.

If you're going through friendship issues I would say first of all take a step back. How important is the friendship to you? Sometimes if someone's not being a good friend to you and isn't treating you the way you should be treated then you kind of have to move on sometimes.

But it all comes down to friendship treating people right.

Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
