A: "Yes, death is not 100% bad - we need the room."

3. Q: "Is it okay to video a concert with my iPad?"

A: "Sure, sure go ahead. So you won't enjoy the concert and you won't enjoy the video, you will have negated everything."

4. Q: "Our human resources director just posted a nude photo of herself on Facebook. Is it okay to like it?"

A: "I've never had a job, not interested."

5. Q: "Is it hazardous to tweet on Ambien?"

A: "I don't think so, I don't think there's anything that can go wrong with a tweet. I think it's interesting we invented tweeting because we so admired birds, we thought, 'Oh my god we gotta be doing this - we also must drop an annoying series of small daily turds on the earth!'"
