John Mulaney: Go on recklessness over planning
And instinct over data.
Comedian John Mulaney on preserving the chaotic energy of his talk show that aired on Netflix:
“There’s a quote I heard about Edward Hopper, that he was a great artist but he was only a good painter. But if he had been a better painter, he would have been a worse artist,” he says. “I sort of feel like if we tried to make the show better, it would be worse.”
How does one manage that?
“You go on instinct over data and recklessness over planning,” he says.
