The only thing that i would say to anyone doing late night shows is - it took me a couple years then - but when you leave the studio, it's over. that's what you really have to do. after a long time, i would be like, "maybe i shouldn't have said this," or "maybe i shouldn't have shown this." but eventually, i got to, "ah, f - k it." that's what it was that night, tomorrow's the next night.

More From Craig Ferguson

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.
Nice Irreverent
You don't have wisdom for tomorrow's problems. but you will tomorrow. you don't have resources for tomorrow's needs. but you will tomorrow. you don't have courage for tomorrow's challenges. but you will when tomorrow comes.
Wisdom Challenges Needs
My whole life at a certain point was studio, hotel, stage, hotel, stage, studio, stage, hotel, studio, stage. i was expressing everything from my past, everything that i had experienced prior to that studio stage time, and it was like you have to go back to the well, in order to give someone something to drink. i felt like a cistern, dried up and like there was nothing more. and it was so beautiful.
Beautiful Past Order
About a year after i moved to los angeles, i decided i wanted to be a joke writer for a late night talk show. so i met with a late night joke writer and he told me that i should start by doing stand-up comedy, because that would really hone my sense of humor and joke writing ability. eventually i took a stand-up class and a few months later i had a seven-minute act.
Writing Night Years
Just by coincidence, senator teddy kennedy and i, in the last couple of days, after several months of negotiations, have reached an agreement for an immigration proposal that we will be putting out next week, ... our proposal is along the lines of make them pay a fine of a couple thousand dollars, make them work for three years, and after three years they can get in the back of the line for a green card and then eventually become citizens.

When i lived in new york, there wasn't as much tv or film around. i got asked to do a couple of indie films, just based on me being from the smashing pumpkins and a perfect circle. i did a couple of indie movies from japan and one from canada, and i thought it was an exciting, fun thing to do. i had a great time doing it, it was just that, in new york, there really wasn't as much. my studio in new york closed, so i moved out to l.a. and just started looking into composing as another thing to do, as a musician. i like it a lot. it's fun and it's a different way of thinking about music.

I tried to imagine how things could get much worse. the gods were in the midwest fighting a huge monster that had almost defeated them once before. poseidon was under siege and losing a war against the sea titan oceanus. kronos was still out there somewhere. olympus was virtually undefended. the demigods of camp half-blood were on our own with a spy in our midst. oh, and according to the ancient prophecy, i was going to die when i turned sixteen—which happened to be in five days, the exact same time typhon was supposed to hit new york. almost forgot that.
New York War Fighting
I love new york, and i'm drawn to a certain intensity of life, but i've just never felt like i want to escape from the midwest. a writer lives a great deal in his own head, and so one intuitively finds places where your head is more clear. new york for me is one of those places.
