Very flattered to be defended on tv by Morning Joe from abuse by the President. We’re trying to get the clip on to Instagram and hopefully on here. Apparently Python is not funny….

Dear Diary, I advised Man City, which is a large town full of just men, that they should say "a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists". And to not present that at any point during their defence. If anyone asks to see it, they will say it goes to a different school. Like all my friends.

"I'd like to make it clear, although the list is unranked, they called and told me that I'm #1. They said there's nobody more important than me in any list they've ever made. They said, "You won the TIME100 lists" then called the astronaut on the list a coward. Little much but I can't control them."

Just popping in to let everyone know we're about 2/3 sold for the premiere of our film this Saturday, which is very exciting! So, if you're on the fence, it might be time to get off the fence and grab a ticket. Or stay on the fence and get one online. Regardless, cannot wait to show you all this!
