I started out doing production work on promos, stuff like that. I didn't think it was cool to be working for NPR. I didn't need anything to be cool. I just wanted something to do that would be interesting. It was fun. I didn't think of it as anything else but fun. -Ira Glass Cool
Like most people in radio - and in magic - I'm not cool. I know people who are hip, and I can feel distance between them and me. -Ira Glass Cool
I hate dream sequences in movies and T.V. shows generally for their heavy-handed symbolism and storytelling tediousness. -Ira Glass Movies
I never realized before this the emotional power of some really simple, corny tropes: people with top hats, people with batons, confetti going off, how important it is to smile. -Ira Glass Smile
