That's always disappointed me, to see a guy in the crowd who doesn't look like he's having fun but in general if you just listen to the crowd it sounds like they're having fun. so i don't want to focus on the one guy who's not having fun. and by closing my eyes and just listening, i can't hear that he's not laughing but i can see that he's not laughing.

More From Mitch Hedberg

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.

Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. in fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. that's the kind of world we live in. keep your eyes wide open. only a coward closes his eyes. closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.

Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. you can call it compassionate listening. you listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion. because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.

Acting doesn't have anything to do with listening to the words. we never really listen, in general conversation, to what the other person is saying. we listen to what they mean. and what they mean is often quite apart from the words. when you see a scene between two actors that goes really well you can be sure they're not listening to each other - they're feeling what the other person is trying to get at. know what i mean?

I don't believe that the american people want us to focus on our job security. they want us to focus on their job security. i don't think they want more gridlock. i don't think they want more partisanship. i don't think they want more obstruction. they didn't send us to washington to fight each other in some sort of political steel-cage match to see who comes out alive. that's not what they want. they sent us to washington to work together, to get things done, and to solve the problems that they're grappling with every single day.

I love sports, but i don't like live sporting events, because i don't like sitting in the crowd. i like listening to records, but i don't like going to concerts, because i don't like standing in the crowd. i guess i just don't like being in the crowd itself.
