I started writing poems, and when I first tried prose, I wrote bad articles and essays and columns, and I didn't have a handle on it. I didn't go to a school that really taught you how to write that stuff.
I really only put stuff out when I have something to say and I feel like I've got a direction and I've got an idea - and that can even take two, two-and-a-half years to flesh out.
Oh, I shop all over the place, really. Like I love department stores like Barney's and Saks and stuff like that. But I also just like to walk in Soho and find some interesting boutique that doesn't really have a huge name or following, and I'll go in and find something amazing.
I have an allowance for clothes and stuff.
I like to talk to people on the phone. I don't like to do critical stuff by text message.
I know exactly what I want to buy and I spend very little time, maybe 15 hours a year, buying stuff. I'll go in and out of Dunhill in 45 minutes and pick out a few suits. Boom. And I'm gone. I get my shirts at Charvet. I go in there - woosh - and buy 12 shirts and some ties; once a year and that's it.
And much as Wine has played the Infidel, And robbed me of my Robe of Honor Well, I often wonder what the Vintners buy One half so precious as the stuff they sell.
Digital photography and Photoshop have made it very easy for people to take pictures. It's a medium that allows a lot of mediocre stuff to get through.
I'm sure I'll get lambasted for this, but I don't get the Asuka thing. Like, I really don't. She's fine, and she's solid, but I don't know. Even going back to the NXT stuff, I've watched it. I don't know. I just never really bought in.
I saved everything, all my gear over the years: my trench coats and stuff that I have saved. It is all packed away nicely and neatly in vacuum-sealed bags and all that stuff.
The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It's not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that's never really been my concern.
And if I would have taken lessons I probably wouldn't have done it, and what forced me to do all this weird stuff on the guitar was I couldn't afford effects pedals, I didn't have all this stuff when I was a kid so I just tried to squeeze all the weird noises I could out of the guitar, which brings me to building guitars.
When you're doing a car chase movie, you're sitting in car waiting for places or grips or stuff for quite a while.
Mel Brooks is an interesting one because he started out making films about stuff that he was totally affectionate about, like musicals, westerns, horror films, Hitchcock films. And then, as they get further on, and you get to 'Spaceballs,' then it's just kind of contrived.
I feel like anyone who's ever wanted to be a performer went through this phase, where you thought that being funny equaled doing stuff you already saw on TV.
I really started writing at the Groundlings. We all have to write all our own sketches and stuff.
I always dug the stuff like the covered dish suppers because I could feel the fun and the joy of what church could be. I could feel God in the more social things; most kids probably feel this way.
I grew up in a family that went to church every Sunday and then I went to youth group during the week and covered dish suppers and stuff like that.
I had done stuff before, a lot of fun stuff, but 'Vice Principals' was the first one where I was like, 'Oh yeah, this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing at the exact time I'm supposed to be doing it.'
I've managed to keep a lot of respect in radio because I write my own stuff. I've had a lot of success as a singer/songwriter. I think if you establish yourself that way, it is harder to throw you out with the bathwater.
