I am not an Internet superstar.
From John Hodgman
My fame is due to broadcast television.
I am someone who values truth - actual truth as opposed to 'truthiness.'
While I understand that all things must come to an end, whether it's a television advertisement or one's life or the world itself, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
Well, I always had this desire to celebrate and somehow be a part of things that I thought were really great.
Comedy does offer an avenue to television and film careers for untelegenic people that great drama does not.
Part of the transaction between writer and reader is the pleasure of building a community and encouraging people to play along.
Everyone wants to write a book. Very few people are able to do it.
People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft, funny, clever melodies, and they also make a lot of music for kids, which is terrific, but when you see them in concert, they can rock the house.
When I listen to music - I don't particularly do it for fun all that much. It's not a big part of my life, and I'm not really on top of what's happening in the world of music in the way I was when I was a teenager.
