I'm Not Sure What It Would Mean To Have "made It." Made What? Yes, I Can Make A Decent Living In Show Business, So If That's The Criteria, Then I've Made It. But That Doesn't Feel That Important To Me. The Stuff That Matters To Me Are The New Challenges. I Know That Sounds Hokey, But It's True.

More From Michael Ian Black

I Feel No Obligation To Teach My Readers Anything, To Impart Any Sort Of Wisdom, To Teach Any Sort Of Lesson, To Instill Any Sort Of Morality. All I'm Trying To Do Is Make Them And Their Parents Laugh.

I Was Very Surprised How Many People Were Earnestly Reminiscing About The '80s. It's Such A Stupid Thing To Do, Like, To Be Honestly Invested In Nostalgia. It Never Even Occurred To Me To Do That.

I Think People Hate Me Pretty Much Across The Board, Which Is Nice.

Super Excited About Things I'm Going To Do; Never Excited About Things I'm Actually Doing.

I Don't Think I Was Awake For Much Of My Childhood. I Did A Lot Of Napping. This Might Have Been A Defensive Measure Against Encroaching Depression. Until About The Age Of Eleven Or Twelve, I Had Zero Interests Other Than Trying To Steal Gumballs From Supermarket Gumball Machines.

The Illustrators Work So Much Harder On The Books Than The Writers Do. I Mean, That's So Much Work Doing What They Do, And It's Terrible For Them.

Sometimes The Criticism Is Actually Useful And Constructive And Actually Informs What I Do, But Most Of The Time, It's Sort Of Mindless, Or They're Receiving Something On A Different Frequency Than I Was Sending It. They're Just Not Getting What I'm Doing, And That's Fine.

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy Do I Love Money. It Is A Character Flaw, No Doubt, One That Springs From A Panicked Childhood In Which I Always Felt As If Our Family Was Only A Couple Missed Child Support Payments From Being Tossed Onto The Pitiless Streets Of Our Suburban New Jersey Town.

Whatever I Write I Publish. Because That's Where The Money Is.

If I Revise A Children's Book, If I'm Spending Three Hours On The First Draft, I'm Probably Spending 30 Minutes Revising It. I Mean, Come On! But To Redo A Painting? That's Hard Work.

Internet Fame Is Like Regular Fame Only Without All The Annoying 'money' And 'power.'

My Fear Is If I Expose Myself, Not So Much That I'll Be Hurt, But That The Reaction Will Be "is That All There Is? Is That The Entirety Of You? Because It's Boring."

I Take My Coffee Like I Take My Women... Strong... Black... And Proud.

The Characters That I Have On Twitter Have Very Little Resemblance To Me, The Person Who's Writing Them.

There Is Something About The Human Condition. I Don't Think Dogs Are Like "if Only I Was A Poodle Instead Of A Golden Retriever, I'd Be Totally Happy." Dogs Are Happy With Who They Are.

Golden Retrievers

I Don't Watch That Much Comedy. I Think It's Professional Jealousy. That And A Lack Of Support For My Community.

All My Friends Were Girls. Then My Mom's Strident Feminism For Years Where Men Were Thought Of As The Enemy, I Just Didn't Know What The Right Way To Be A Man Was.

I Never Really Understood What Was Expected Of Me As A Man, Or How I Was Supposed To Interact With Women, But Worse, With Other Guys. I Did Not Relate To Them.

The Global Business Climate Is Likewhatever, Dude.

Global Business

I Think In Doing Stand-up There Are No Rules And There's No Architecture.

I Don't Necessarily Self-identify As A Writer, 'cause It Implies A Certain Level Of Intelligence.

Twitter Is About Creating Whatever Persona You Want To Create And Either Sticking With It Or Changing It Or Evolving It Or Contradicting It, And I've Done All That Stuff.

Your Harshest Critic Is Always Going To Be Yourself. Don't Ignore That Critic, But Don't Give It More Attention Than It Deserves.

Any Time I Am Involved In Something From Conception To Execution, That's Obviously A Lot More Personal, And I'm Going To Be More Invested In It Than Something Where I Just Show Up For A Couple Days, Shoot, And Leave.

My Tastes In All Things Lean Towards The Arty And Boring. I Like Sports Documentaries About Scrabble Players, Bands That Play Quiet, Unassuming Music, And Tv Shows That Win Awards. In That Way, I Am An Elitist Snob. And Proud Of It.

It Doesn't Matter What You're Chasing, When You Get There You're Gonna Be Like, "oh, Is This All? It Kind Of Sucks."

I'm Very Introverted, So It Requires A Huge Effort For Me To Put On A Smile And Extend A Hand And Accept Compliments. I Would Much Rather Be Insulted Than Complimented Any Day.

If You Say "i'm Going To Be An Actor, But I'll Get A Teaching Degree Just In Case," When Things Get Hard, You'll Just Be A Teacher And That's How You Get Stuck.

Things You Never Thought Were Going To Turn Into Something End Up Being The Most Important Things In Your Life. You Have To Learn To Not Try To Control It.

I Think Writing For Anybody Helps You Order Your Life. It Helps You Arrange Your Emotions And Your Thoughts And It Helps To Provide Perspective.

Shuffling Really Isn't Something You Should Be Doing On Your Deathbed.

I'm Trying To Teach My Children Not To Cry. That's The Big Thing. No Crying. Because I Think We Can All Agree That Crying Is, For The Most Part, For Sissies. If My Team Loses, I'm Going To Cry. And I'm Going To Want My Kids To See Me Crying. Not Because I Think Sports Are So Important, But Because I Bet So Much Money On The Game That We'll Probably Lose The House If My Team Doesn't Win. That's Something To Cry About.

You Can't Write A Children's Book That Takes More Than Five Or Six Minutes To Read, Because It Will Drive The Parents Batty. It Has To Be Compact. Nobody Thinks About The Parents When They Write These Stupid Books. I Could Write Longer Children's Books, But It Would Actually Be Bad If I Did.

The Atkins' Diet Is Where You Eat Bacon For Six Or Seven Months...and The End Result Is That You Lose Weight. Because You're Dead.

You Have To Lead, In The Case Of A Game Show, A Contestant Through The Architecture Of The Show. So There's A Lot Of Rules There, Literal And Implied, That You Have To Navigate.

By The End Of The Time I'm Writing A Book, I'm Tearing My Hair Out And I Want To Go Do Stand-up. And Then I Want To Do Something Else. I Don't Know Why It Is True With Me That I Can't Just Be Satisfied Doing The One Thing, But I'm Constantly Flitting From One Thing To Another.

I'm Enough Of An Optimist And A Patriot To Believe That In U.s. You Have A Lot Of Opportunity And Can Do Pretty Much Anything You Want In Some Form. For Me, The Idea Of Failure Is Far Preferable To The Idea Of Regret.

Part Of What's Exciting To Me About My Career Is The Constant Looking Forward. Whenever I Finish One Project, I Am Looking To What's Next.

Looking Forward

Kids Love To Be Silly, They Love To Laugh, So I Think It Was Natural For My Kids To Like The Sort Of Books That I Write - And It's The Only Kinds Of Books I'm Capable Of Writing.

My Absolute Favorite Growing Up Was Super Friends. The Assemblage Of So Many Mighty Heroes In One Place Was, To Me, Mind-blowing. It Was Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, And Then Sometimes Hawkman And Some Other, Lesser Heroes.

My Goal Is To Work. That's The Goal Of Most Actors Or Performers: To Work And Keep Working, And Do The Best You Can, And Keep Growing And Changing, Trying To Improve Your Craft.

There's Things I Know I'm Good At, And Those Things Interest Me Less And Less. I Learn A Lot More From Doing It Wrong Than I Do From Doing It Right.

I Don't Chase After Things, But I Put Forward The Effort And Know The Rest Of It Is Out Of My Hands.

When You're Writing Something, And You're Putting Yourself Out There, Or You're Performing And Someone Comes In And Savages That, Then Of Course It Feels Personal. It Doesn't Feel Like It's Just Business, Because There's No Business - It's Not Like We're Conducting Business, This Anonymous Critic And I. It's Just That This Person Is Tearing Me A New Asshole.

Hosting A Show, Even A Talk Show Or A Game Show, There's So Much Business You Have To Conduct. There's So Much Guiding You Have To Do.

My Process Is Surprisingly Straightforward. I Find Myself With Little To Do Over A Stretch Of Time And I Say, "i Should Write Children's Books Today." Then I Sit Down And Write A Children's Book, And If It Takes More Than, Realistically, Three Hours, I Feel Like I've Done Something Wrong.

I Hope You Die.... P.s. If You Do Die, I'm Going To Go To The Funeral And Finger Your Corpse.

I'm Not Sure What It Would Mean To Have "made It." Made What? Yes, I Can Make A Decent Living In Show Business, So If That's The Criteria, Then I've Made It. But That Doesn't Feel That Important To Me. The Stuff That Matters To Me Are The New Challenges. I Know That Sounds Hokey, But It's True.

There Is No Word For Feeling Nostalgic About The Future, But That's What A Parent's Tears Often Are, A Nostalgia For Something That Has Not Yet Occurred. They Are The Pain Of Hope, The Helplessness Of Hope, And Finally, The Surrender To Hope.

I Used To Need The Character But As I've Gotten Older I Need It Less And Less - I Prefer To Play Some Version Of Myself. To Approach Any Acting Job As Me Just Being Me.

I'll Never Admit That I'm An Actor, Because The Next Horrible Follow-up Question Is Always, "oh, What Have I Seen You In?"

As A Game-show Host, What I'm Thinking And What I'm Experiencing Doesn't Matter. My Opinion Doesn't Matter. So There's A Flattened Reality To It. It's Fun To Do. But It's Certainly Not Myself In Totality - Or Even Maybe A Little Bit.

I Thought I'd Be Living A Much More Bohemian Life And Be Very Poor. I Never Thought I'd Do Comedy Or Be Married Living In The Suburbs. Every Time I Try To Plan My Life Out It Just Doesn't Come To Pass, And I Think That's A Great Experience.

Hosting A Game Show Is So Bizarre And Uniquely Its Own Thing. Anytime I'm Hosting Something, I Try To Bring As Much Of Myself To It As I Can, But It's Always Going To Be Incomplete.

Whatever Expectations I Had For Myself, None Of Them Have Come To Pass. I Grew Up Thinking I Was Going To Be An Actor, Which I Am. But I Thought I'd Be A Very Serious Sort Of Shakespearean Guy Going From Town To Town Having Sex With Various Juliets All Over The Country.

So My Reaction To Hearing This Corny-ass, Horrible Song ["with Arms Wide Open" By Creed] Is Violent, Uncontrollable, Sustained Weeping.

I Probably Should Be Thinking Of Better Ideas On How To Promote Myself, But I Don't Really Spend A Lot Of Time Doing It. I Really Don't Know How To Promote Effectively.

I Loved Dungeons & Dragons. Actually, Not So Much The Actual Playing As The Creation Of Characters And The Opportunity To Roll Twenty-sided Dice. I Loved Those Pouches Of Dice Dungeon Masters Would Trundle Around, Loved Choosing What I Was Going To Be: Warrior, Wizard, Dwarf, Thief.

I Think People Just Love To Win.

I Can Be A Snarky Asshole, Or I Can Be Sort Of Mentally Impaired. It's Very Hard For Me To Just Be Normal Human Being.

With Stand-up, You Can Be As Freeform As You Want To Be. You Can Say What You Want, How You Want, At Any Moment Without Constraint.

The Whole Idea Of Punk Rock Is That You're Dressing Yourself In A Crazy Leather Jacket With Safety Pins And A Mohawk. The Idea Of Being The Rebel Is A Boring Societal Idea. It's Such A Type. And That's What I Was, Without Knowing It.

Leather Jackets

I Imagine There's A Level Of Narcissism That Goes Into Thinking You're Enough.

I Don't Really Read Children's Books Or Deal With Children's Books, So I Don't Have Any Relationship With Them Other Than My Own.

The Thing About Narcissistic People Is That They Don't Think They're Being Narcissistic.

It's Such A Deliberate Thing To Sit Down And Write A Tweet. You're Putting Yourself Out There In A Very Deliberate Way, And Over However Many Tweets, You Start To Create A Character For Yourself.

The Things I Care About Are The Most Pedestrian Things In The World. I Care About Good Ice Cream And Being A Good Dad And A Decent Husband.

The Thing That I Think Is The Most Important Is Taking Moments To Express Your Appreciation To Your Partner. A Thank You Or A Quick Kiss Can Go A Long Way Toward Affirming Your Relationship And Commitment To Each Other. That's Not Hard To Do Even When You're Juggling Insane Careers And Three Kids.
