“With compassion you can die for other people, like the mother who can die for her child.

But if you have fear of losing your status, your position, you will not have the courage to do it.”

“For years, I was watching other people have so much fun playing out their version of authorship, like Louis C.K. and Larry David. As I watched them do their thing, I began to pine for the days when I had a lot less expected of me and, often, a lot more creative freedom. The courage that those guys have is always captivating to me.”
