The mind is always present. You just don't see it.

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha

When you don't understand, you depend on reality. When you do understand, reality depends on you.

Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.

But I'm Crazy. I swear to God I am.

I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.

I was always extremely curious about why people did the things they do.

Any cause that requires mockery and abuse to advance itself isn't one I need to engage with, regardless of my basic beliefs or agreement with the underlying goals.

It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.
