For me personally, I have a fear of, 'If I stop, I'm going to die.' If I stop doing the things that are enriching to me or creatively exciting to me or if I stop creating, then I feel stagnant. If something isn't growing, it's dying.

Steve Martin said that philosophy is good for comedy because it screws up your thinking just enough, and I agree with that. Being forced to see life's metadata is good training for looking for interesting angles on a topic.

Real philosophy is like trying to read an alarm system installation manual in Korean.

We're not in an information age anymore. We're in the information management age.

When you first start working, you take whatever job is offered, because you have to build your resume. But you don't think about what you're building.

In the end, all that time I spent in the 'Star Wars' universe fostered galaxies of creativity and made me a better person here on Earth, because it taught me that everyone counts. That's why I can sincerely and with a straight face say: 'May the Force be with you.'

Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.

Freelancers are 'free' because they take risks - they don't like being told what to do. That's both exciting and daunting, because you have to police you.

I've gone from being bullied by jocks as a kid to being bullied by nerds as an adult.

Comic-Con is nerd Christmas. People go wanting to have fun.

The 'Hipster Nerds' like stuff because they hate it. It's like they ironically like it.

Don't tell television, but there is some superior programming being made on the Interwebz.
