“It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit in life. Human knowledge is but an accumulation of small facts made by successive generations of men--the little bits of knowledge and experience carefully treasured up by them growing at length into a mighty pyramid.” MenHumansLittlesArtMadeFactsBitsSecretGrowingGenerationsLittle BitPursuitObservationLengthLittle ThingsBusiness SuccessAccumulationPyramidsSecret To SuccessHuman KnowledgeTreasuredKnowledge And Experience Book:Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct Source: Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct

“I've always thought of characters like advent calendars. You have Christmas and you have all the little doors over the windows and every day you're allowed to open one more as it gets towards Christmas and you see more and more about what's inside that house.I remember as a kid being fascinated by that and I've always thought of my character as a little bit like that. I like to have secrets and slowly let those secrets out to the audience, sometimes never let them out, but let them see as you open the shutters, open and see a little bit more of a character.” LittlesSometimesCharacterKidsRememberHouseBitsSecretAudienceDoorsLittle BitWindowFascinatedCalendarsAdventShutters Author:Jeremy Irons
“Growing up, I was the weird, theatrical kid who always tried to make people be in my plays. I've always loved comedy, but when it came time to figure out what I was going to go to school for, my parents were like, "Acting?! I don't think so. No." It took me a while to get the courage to pursue it. I had to do it in secret for a little bit, and then when I got married and was out on my own, I went for it.” PeopleThinkingLittlesPlayKidsSchoolBitsParentMy OwnActingSecretGrowing UpComedyGrowingFiguresMarriedLittle BitPursueTheatrical Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey

“The personal boundaries, I think for comedians they're a little bit different anyway, but I think people - feel free to do stuff - It's interesting with comedians because when we walk on stage, oftentimes we're talking about ourselves for an hour and we're talking about very intimate details, so after hearing us for an hour, a lot of people feel very comfortable with us because they feel like they know us and they're our friends because we just told them our innermost secrets and details of our lives for an hour.

“I knew Shin [Biyajima] a little bit early on, but it's funny because where I really met Shin, and where he made a strong impression on me, was in Jackson Hole.
