I Think Any Spiritual Experience That's Worthwhile

You Learn By Trying And Failing. Just A Lot Of Hard Work And Mistakes.

I Got Put On Jury Duty, Which Is Where I Learned How To Write.

I Think Sometimes You Have To Handle Things Delicately At Work Or At Home. You Know, You Can Find Yourself In Situations That Are Like Opening A Closet Filled With Bowling Balls That Are Going To Fall Out Of It, But If You Handle Things Graciously, Then That's Not Going To Happen.

I Had Various Jobs, I Taught A Sat Class, I Was A Bartender, I Had A Day Job At An Office And Was Making Short Films. I Got Grants From Nysca And Nea For An Idea, Which Later Became 'huckabees,' About A Guy In A Chinese Restaurant Who Had Microphones On Every Table And Heard Every Personal Conversation And Would Write Perversely Personal Fortunes.

That's Just How I See Things. I Think Things That Are The Most Dramatic Or Tragic Can Also Look The Most Ridiculous And Funny. That's Part Of Being Human.
