For many years I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose it seems to me must be the improvement of mankind.

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup but the tea.

All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other.

I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned through experience to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.

I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out I feel is really amazing.

Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country and I said 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.

'The Dance Scene' is basically the most amazing dance show in the world and it follows me as a creative director. You see how I maintain that creativity.

When I was trying to impress Kate I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners and what would happen was I would burn something something would overspill something would catch on fire and she would be sitting in the background trying to help and basically taking control of the whole situation so I was quite glad she was there at the time.

Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.
