Or maybe its not so improbable.
You know, it really becomes a fairly relevant question:What do I know?
How do I know it?
Who am I?Who am I?
is very important, especially in the face of potential authoritarianism or fascism.
How willing are you to fight?
So how do you make those accessible?
That was really the question.
On the Cosmically Appropriate Timing of His Special
I recorded this in October.
I mean, the release of it is cosmically appropriate, but I couldnt have planned that.
And certainly, Im not necessarily happy that were living in a time of plague.
But, you know, it didnt hurt my special thats for sure.
So my expectations were very different.
Obviously, I dont want everyone to get sick.
So Im sort of amazed.
Its that weird mixture of excitement and horror.
But I do feel that it is a good thing to watch to find a little respite.

So all that stuff happens, and this is a good time for it.

On His Level of Success
Im trying to learn how to enjoy things.
And the timing on thats not great, given the world were living in.
But how does it affect my life?
Im still kind of a marginal figure.
I do all right for myself, I make a nice living, but Im not huge.

Im not being spiritual here.
Im not being God-minded.
Maybe I am, I dont know.
I dont know who I would be if I got that big.
I imagine I would crush myself under the expectations of that responsibility.
So I think Im exactly where I need to be.
I always think Im going to dry up, or Im going to repeat myself.
Almost every day for an hour.
So, yeah, I still fight that fight.
But I guess its who I am.
