Chicago Grew Up Minutes

More From Jim Gaffigan

Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

Every time i try to set something in chicago, i get intimidated by 'augie march.' it's easy to set something in indianapolis - we don't have 'augie march' here. but i love writing about chicago, and i love being there and imagining lives in chicago. i hope to set something there in the future, but it's intimidating.

Chicago still remains a mecca of the midwest - people from both coasts are kind of amazed how good life is in chicago, and what a good culture we've got. you can have a pretty wonderful artistic life and never leave chicago.

I've never seen a theater community to rival that of chicago. neither new york nor l.a. has the raw talent or integrity that chicago theater has, and i think it's because chicago doesn't have broadway or the film and tv business to distract it.

Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. the only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and i liked the idea at that period of time. but that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that i'm a gypsy. it's gotten totally out of context.

I tend to avoid the shows that focus on politics, just to get a break from it all, i tried watching the first couple episodes of 'house of cards,' but i thought it was way over the top. members of congress aren't anything like frank underwood. most of us are far less interesting.

I'm thinking of doing a marital comedy for one of the studios, but i want it to be so painful that it'll have a profound effect on married couples who see it together.
