I think there is something for all of us where you find a balance in your life, where you feel that everything you do isn’t about your own creature comforts or satisfying your own appetites. Some of it has to be directed outward and there is a huge satisfaction in that.

It’s very satisfying to promote science and education and see good results. Setting a good example for young people, being a role model, is very important for me.

Stand-up comedy is all you. It’s your show, it’s your game. You control every aspect of it – of that experience and that expression. There’s really nothing quite as satisfying.

Even the details of a rifle, which are nothing but mechanical, if they are made carefully, with attention, become beautiful, satisfying.
