“I was sleeping in a water bed for a couple of years, recommended by my doctor. I was never comfortable in that water bed.

I would always think there was some intelligent life in the water bed.” ThinkingYearsNightWaterSleepMiddleCoupleBedComfortableHappeningsDoctorsIntelligentBubblesMiddle Of The NightSleeping InIntelligent Life Author:Jo Nesbo

“It's completely unsexy [Yello, "Oh Yeah" 1985]. It does capture that weird '80s materialism and "We're gonna get it on now" vibe. But it's a very juvenile approach. It also became a weird signal for comedy, in the sense that when you heard the song, it meant comedy was happening on screen. I feel like this song was probably done in a couple of minutes in a studio.” FeelsDoeDoneSongComedyHeardMinutesCoupleApproachHappeningsYeahStudiosScreensMaterialismCaptureSignals80sJuvenile Author:Margaret Cho
“I think they [TV productions] were just kind of drying up. I'd done a couple of episodes, but nothing was happening. So I went to Vancouver to visit a buddy and see what was going on, and that year was crazy. Vancouver was on fire at that point. It was all these Stephen J. Cannell productions - The Commish being one of them - and in one I was a bartender, and I think I had five lines.” ThinkingYearsKindDoneLinesFireFiveCrazyTvsCoupleHappeningsProductionsEpisodesBuddyVancouverBartender Author:Eric McCormack
