I'm not an engineer. I did not study engineering in school. But I was a super ambitious student growing up.

My learning process has always been very idea-oriented. I never sat down with a book being like, 'OK, now I'm going to learn about transistors.' Instead I had an idea that I really liked and learned as I was trying to figure out how to build it.

Programming is a pretty tricky thing to start learning. You need to combine it with comedy to get a wider audience.

Take it from someone who's never managed to keep a New Year's resolution: making commitments is easy. Keeping them is what is hard.

I always feel like you don't do comedy for the special - you do the specials so you can do comedy. That's like a commercial for people to come out and support the new shows.

I think any decent comedy worth its salt has to have heart, otherwise it's just a bunch of jokes. I think people enjoy comedies that have a heart and soul to them.

My whole life, growing up, I always wanted to be in comedy. I never felt comfortable doing the 'teen hunk' thing.

Cameron Crowe can write dialogue and shoot it with warmth and humor like nobody else.
