Former Gov. Weld is that kind of guy who you can't predict what his next move will be.
Pop shouldn't be a comfortable slipper. It should shock and surprise you and confront your expectations.
There's a lot of similarities, I think, between a thriller and a comedy because it's all about tension. It's about building tension and setups and payoffs and misdirections and surprising people and sort of pushing the boundary.
I did not think this doll could ever be this huge.
Who I am really keeps surprising me.
Expect the unexpected, is what I'd say about Taboo. It's different. I don't think you've seen anything like it. It's getting incredible responses, so fingers crossed.
When in doubt, freak 'em out.
I do not know what to say in a case so surprising, so unlooked for and so novel.
Are you a person—with volition and maybe some stubbornness and at least the capacity if not the actual determination to do something surprising—or are you a tool? A tool just serves its user. It’s only as good as the skill of its user, and it’s not good for anything else. So if you want to accomplish something special—something more than you can do for yourself—you can’t use a tool. You have to use a person and hope the surprises will work in your favor. You have to use something that’s free to not be what you had in mind.
Who I really am keeps surprising me.
It's great when you know somebody and they keep surprising you.

Obvious is not my forte. I take a left turn right when everybody thinks I'm going to go straight.
No one could have ever dreamed about how well the show would do.
I like to have interesting things to write about. And when one says something is 'interesting,' one almost always means 'bad.'
Every funny story has at least one unusual thing in it.
Expect the unexpected, is what I'd say about 'Taboo.'
You don't want to give people what they want. Give them something that they didn't know that they wanted.
Humans were always surprising me.
I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.
Part of my humor is the fact that I love coming out of left field. I don't want people to expect what is going to happen next.
I never fail to find it weird when people recognise me.
A lot of people tell me, once they get to know me, that they're surprised that I'm nothing like they think I'll be.
In a weird way, I like to find the quirkiness in ordinary things. I like to find what is ordinary in quirky people.
Bubbles are weird things. They're not fragile. They're infinitely flexible. They're not what we think they are.
