It was Seinfeld.

Seinfeld said, he said, you're like these vaudevillians.

He said, you don't like to see blank boxes on the calendar.

You don't like to be blank on the schedule.

Right, blank boxes.

You want to be booked every day.

Whoa.

For my podcast, I just interviewed Michael Stipe from REM.

Sure.

And Michael said something similar, which was, you know, everybody in this business, you do it long enough, and not so much like, oh, you got it.

You know, I got this, and it's going to be, you're kind of casual about it.

There's just other things that emerge that you like.

It's not your primary focus anymore.

It's one among many.

So for me, as movies that I made,

as TV shows that I made weren't as true in terms of expressing my creative impulses.

I mean, I would do a movie sometimes or a TV show just to go to work.

Right.

And I found other things to do that I liked as much or more.

So I started working with the New York Philharmonic, and I'm the announcer on the radio for the Philharmonic, and that takes up some of my time.
