It turns out that our ability to connect with other people is driven by our ability to connect deeply with ourselves.

Do whatever rejuvenates you. It might be a cooking class, cocktails with the girls, or just private time with the hubby.

These are moments in your life to be cherished; they don’t come around that often. To be flying around in a ‘Game of Thrones’ jet, to be greeted by massive enthusiasts.

As a comedian, you want people to like you. That’s part of why you’re there in the first place: You have this unquenchable need to be liked, and then when you divert from that and take a chance at doing something that has moments of fierce unlikeability, you can hit some real low points.
There’s no glory in climbing a mountain if all you want to do is to get to the top. It’s experiencing the climb itself – in all its moments of revelation, heartbreak, and fatigue – that has to be the goal.

Spending waiting moments doing crossword puzzles or reading a book you brought yourself.

I think there are things that you look for when you’re younger, and you think they are going to make you happier or make you feel complete.

Very often, I don’t make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.
