I'm a professional Jonathan Coulton. It's partially ego, to be completely honest: It feels great to have people adoring you in that way.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today. I can't think of who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way.

I always feel uncomfortable at parties, and I'm often nervous when talking to strangers. I don't think this makes me feel special. Maybe everybody feels this way.

Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan.

I'm just a dude and I feel like being completely isolated would be kind of a drag. I really do get a lot of energy from feedback from fans. People create music videos and artwork for my music.

It's weird but it's amazing, and it's great to know people are thinking about you. It's a huge ego boost and anyone that says they don't love that is lying.

For me, the live show is sort of the ultimate expression of this journey that I've been on.

The most important message that I can give to you and to all the world is to keep the commandments of God.

I think it's cool when Scorsese will pop up in a movie or something like that. I never want to make a career out of that or anything. I like directing. That's my favorite thing.

Deal with difficult tasks while they are easy. Act on large issues while they are small.

Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.
