- Sometimes we'll forget it's called 'Adventure Time' and just write whatever we want. Just like sitting and talking to bugs and being mopey and then maybe humming a tune - that kind if stuff. I think everyone feels what they're watching; envy one is empathizing with the characters. And my favorite way to feel is calm.
- It's an art to perfect the best kind of fart joke. You can't too gross, because then it's not a joke, it's disgusting.and it's better when it's hidden. Like when Princess Bubblegum comes into the last scene, there's a 'whoo' noise. No one really ever gets that one but me.
