I am someone who values truth...

I am someone who values truth - actual truth as opposed to 'truthiness.'

A lot of my time is spent reading antique or out-of-print books of reference.

John Hodgman 169 quotes

People forget how outcast 'Th...

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft, funny, clever melodies, and they also make a lot of music for kids, which is terrific, but when you see them in concert, they can rock the house.

Generally speaking, I, like anyone else who does anything publicly, like it when people like what I do, and would like to hear as much.

I would be good for maybe not the center square but an upper square on 'Hollywood Squares.'

People who run for president ...

People who run for president seriously and people who become president enter a bizarre secret society in which they have had an experience that none of us will ever have.

I do not think that a museum ...

I do not think that a museum needs to engage with pop culture in order to make itself interesting to museumgoers. Museums are already interesting and engaging with pop culture for its own sake is just a quick way to seem and become dated.

John Hodgman 169 quotes

What would I put in a museum?...

What would I put in a museum? Probably a museum! That's an amusing relic of our past.

Here's the thing: I am not on...

Here's the thing: I am not only a creature of civilization, I'm an asthmatic person. I will only live so long as I have stockpiled the proper inhalers. I'm effectively a cyborg. You know how in Jurassic Park, they bred those dinosaurs with the lysine deficiencies, so if they ever got off the island, they'd die? That's me.

I know electric knives are excellent for carving turkeys that have had their bones removed and been forced into a mold to shape them. Please note that those turkeys are called hams.

My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.

One can always come up with funny lists and jokes. You know what? I take it back. Not everyone can always come up with funny lists and some jokes. I'm very lucky to have a gift where I can do that pretty ably.

More people have more access ...

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross; but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. From a creative perspective, that is all that writing is about.

John Hodgman 169 quotes

When you think about it, the e...

When you think about it, the end of the world is a little bit like death: We all know it's going to come eventually, and as we get older, we feel we see the signs more and more distinctly.

John Hodgman 169 quotes

All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago.

My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.

John Hodgman 169 quotes

I think that obviously, there is a perverse attraction to a fundamentally changed world or the end of the world. There is a death wish, a perverse death wish. Not just for ourselves, not just for the movie 'Death Wish,' but for the end of all human life.

John Hodgman 169 quotes

As you know, the thing that I know the least about is the topic of sports.

Hosting a TV show is a full-time job in which success is defined by it never ending.
