I think what we’re done is take away kings and just make CEOs. It’s the same problem in different clothes.

As someone who knows a lot of flora and fauna, do you ever end up using it as a metaphor for somebody that slipped on a banana peel?

A guy is going to upload a video of him lighting his farts. He’s going to get a million views. His budget is really low, but it shows you that the heart wants what the heart wants.

I took a packet of itching powder on the school bus and somehow it got away from me into the air and it created a real problem. It was a problem that produced a lot of pain and suffering for everybody for that whole day.

It’s maybe one of the handful of reasons why we’re not an enormous media property and why I don’t live on a decommissioned aircraft carrier — which is what I would do with my money.

Bohuš: I would take my accordion there to get tuned. You can’t really tune an accordion. John: No, that’s right. You just have to burn it and buy a new accordion.

It’s so interesting spending the morning at the FBI and the afternoon at the Library of Congress, how few government employees want to talk about the news of the day.

We live in a time when social media is well understood to be the thing that destroyed the fabric of our civilization. What was that for Rome? Germans? Whatever the thing was that destroyed Rome, social media turned out to be that for us.

Seattle likes to tear down things to build worse new things. It’s one of the ways that we distinguish ourselves from Portland — which was always too shabby to tear anything down, so they just left everything and now it looks amazing.

My daughter and her cadre all are very fascinated with the 90s. And yet not interested in me telling stories about the 90s.

The Library of Congress was burned by the British in 1812, and then it burned again just because it was sad.

He was just doing something I’ve tried to do my whole life, which is just sit around in cafes until the CIA comes and tries to talk to you and say, “What are you doing here, and would you like to do some extracurricular work for us?”

The more upper class you get, the more completely awkward it is to talk to someone.

It’s so strange to have nostalgia for not only a time you weren’t alive, but for a job you would never conceivably have. I would never have been a U-boat captain, but they sound so merry.

He should have been living in a house made of ice and sawdust with a bunch of appliances that he’d made himself and animals that could talk.

It was a really well-designed machine to take money from people.

That’s a really well-grounded take on it: that you’re the problem.

If you follow that virtuous process, you make sure the right people have a voice at the table and not just the people with the money and the power.

I can imagine, having been to Edmonton a couple of times, that to walk around Edmonton with a Louis Vuitton bag would be the same as walking around Edmonton in a prom dress.
