It’s a quirk of mine; I love neat garages.

I like movies, because it’s kind of a combination of every art, it’s like it’s picture, it’s story, it’s music, it’s kind of like a clash and a collide of every art. It’s really neat.

I read The Bell Jar, and then I read her memoir and her diaries, and a third book, an outside opinion. Just the way she made the pillows so neat on the oven door. It just seems to be the opposite of, if you’re going to take your life, in a horrible rage it happens.
A Madagascar Hissing Roach chasing Jerry Lewis. That would be a really neat treat.

The one thing that I do have that I really like is I framed some of my jerseys. In college, I played for Team U.S.A. I framed some of those jerseys.

I’d like to be on ‘Graham Norton.’ Just because I used to do the audience warm-up for the ‘Graham Norton’ show, and I just think that would be a beautifully lovely, typical end to a narrative. I like a neat ending.
