The great thing about it is in Hollywood certain people are very good at keeping their lives and who they are very private. I've never met anybody as down to earth and cool in Hollywood than Matt Damon.
The truth is we have this idea that late night is about creativity and being cool but that's not our job. Our job is to get as many people watching the commercials in between our show. That's the reality of it.
In Fargo they say well that's a job. How well do you get paid? For example for this book I was written about in Entertainment Weekly and it was kind of cool because my mom asked me if Entertainment Weekly was a magazine or a newspaper.
I didn't really work with Vin on it except we talked about it a little bit. I think it was kind of cool because we didn't think it was going to be that emotional. I don't think Vin knew I was going to be that emotional.
I feel like people start to believe things that people say about them and start to think they're really important. If you have a family that is down to earth and cool I don't see how you can be like that.
I'm just a cool type of guy who's all about positives.
I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.
Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought 'Wow!'
In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped ' I focus on neural implants.
I don't like reading things that people say on the Internet because I know so much of it is not true. I don't want to waste my time worrying about what other people are thinking. I just want to focus on being able to do cool projects.
