I tell people that anything that could ever happen to you on stage has happened to me. My clothes have fallen off. I’ve fallen off the stage. I’ve gotten sick – anything.
I moved on to a nursing agency as a receptionist just to get a job, and ended up managing it, which led to me opening my own – say your mom is sick and needs someone to help her, then you call something like what I had: a home health agency.

There’s a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint – just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I’m sick of being like everyone else, because I’m not.
Being sick is the reason I went into comedy.
Anything that has a relationship with pleasure, we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol; making love, they talk about AIDS; you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It’s a very sick society that rejects pleasure.

A lot of our entertainment throws into detail the stagnation and illness of how we live today-it’s sad and it’s sick… and it’s profitable.
I used to be sick of the backroads of Minnesota. I had to drive 30 miles to get home every day, take the schoolbus for two hours. But to drive through America and see the backroads, from Nashville to Memphis, Lovick to New Mexico, was incredible. It was probably the greatest trip of my life.
Left to their own devices, epidemic diseases tend to follow the same basic process: A virus or bacteria infects a host, who typically becomes sick and in many cases dies. Along the way, the host infects others.
You cannot drive a system that’s going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren’t sick and you don’t have to pay more money on them.
Great night. Phelps got a gold. How sick is that.
