“I'm always trying to gain and keep the audience's respect. I always want them to know that the show doesn't think they're stupid for watching.”

“You can't tell the audience — well, you can, but I don't like to tell the audience — that anything they're watching doesn't matter.”

“Why do we always begin to think about people when they die? I think we should think about people while they're still alive! That way, they can know that we're thinking about them! I always tell people when I'm thinking about them, or that I thought about them, or that I have been thinking about them and it almost always scares them away, but so what, I am practicing the art of life and if that is frightening to them then maybe they need to start living while they're still alive!”

“I always try to keep that feeling of being on the edge. I'm afraid of knowing too well and seeming mechanical.”

“It's always surprising to be reminded that while you're watching and thinking about people, all knowing and superior, they're watching and thinking about you, right back at you.”

“(on not being able to keep still): I have to move. I always want to engage the audience, and hopefully they are going to send some energy back”
