Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Lower the bar. Actually spending ten minutes clearing off one shelf is better than fantasizing about spending a weekend cleaning out the basement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.
When I do an hour-and-a-half show, if I don't improvise 20 minutes worth of new material each night, I feel I've let myself down.
Things are never perfect, so I never get too high about things, or get too down about things anymore.
I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.
When I'm working, I'm not so much disciplined as obsessive. I have this feeling that I need to clear everything away and get this down.
I am really bad with cleaning my closet.
You are not going to be perfect every day. It's about turning up the next day and doing it again.
At a certain point, you have to kind of realize that greatness is a messy thing.
Commit yourself to quality from day one... it's better to do nothing at all than to do something badly.
I feel like I've set the bar fairly high, and I want to keep living up to that bar.
