“I know what I did and how I accomplished it. I am proud of it and know that it was done with integrity.”
“A joy that is shared is a joy made double.”
“I know how to have a conversation, but I've never done improv. I've never taken improv classes.”
“It appears to general observation, that revolutions create genius and talents; but those events do no more than bring them forward. There is existing in man, a mass of sense lying in a dormant state, and which, unless something excites it to action, will descend with him, in that condition, to the grave. As it is to the advantage of society that the whole of its faculties should be employed, the construction of government ought to be such as to bring forward, by a quiet and regular operation, all that extent of capacity which never fails to appear in revolutions.”
“Suddenly life has new meaning to me, there's beauty up above and things we never take notice of, you wake up suddenly you're in love.”

“I had a moment where I realised I could do silly voices, that lots of people I knew couldn't do silly voices, and that thus I must be able to make money doing silly voices.”
