“Sometimes you don’t have to be 100 percent accurate. I’m not saying to spread lies — that’s slander, which is illegal — but everyone makes mistakes. I had a heckle that made David Robinson laugh (yessssss), which turned out to be an error: ‘Mo! Hey Mo! How’s it feel to make it a habit of getting swept by the Spurs? I remember 2007.’ I guess I don’t remember 2007 since he played for the Bucks and not the Cavs, but it was an honest mistake. Sorry, Mo.”

“My point is this—if you want to be happy in showbiz (or any creative field), listen to that voice inside you. Even if it says ‘Fuck it’ sometimes. Work with your friends. Avoid chasing fame or money. Just do what you want to do, when and how you want to do it. And if it’s not making you happy, quit. Quit hard, and quit often. Eventually you’ll end up somewhere that you never want to leave.”

“Having it all, for me, is not so much about attaining a high salary as it is just living comfortably in an overall way. I want to enjoy my life as a whole and I’ve found that, for me, this means prioritizing a more stable, comfortable working environment above higher pay or impressive job titles. I feel lucky to have been raised by frugal parents who taught me to live below my means no matter what those means are. I hope my generation will benefit from lessons learned during this recession rather than only be stifled by it, in the same way that the Depression-era folks I’ve met are often such creative, resourceful people. The definition of ‘work’ is being constantly reshaped, and we have a hand in defining its future if we wish to.”
