I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool.

If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck. ↗

We grew up in abject poverty. Acting, writing scripts and skits were a way of escaping our environment at a very young age. ↗

But seriously, I think overall in the scheme of things winning an Emmy is not important. Let's get our priorities straight. I think we all know what's really important in life - winning an Oscar. ↗

If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time, there is no hope of ever solving them. ↗
