With everything that I do, I hope that they see people struggling to live decent, moral lives in a completely chaotic world.

"I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there, on the tundra, waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this."

"Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke."
