Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
I hadn't really done a comedy other than The Ape since Freaks and Geeks.
Geeks are generally the most interesting people.
Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
I mean I like to be passionate and sincere but I also like to have fun and act like a dork. Geeks unite.
A lot of the geeks in Silicon Valley will tell you they no longer believe in the ability of policymakers in Washington to accomplish anything. They don't understand why people end up in politics; they would do much more good for the world if they worked at Google or Facebook.
A lot of nerds aren't aware they're nerds. A geek has thrown his hands up to the universe and gone, 'I speak Klingon - who am I fooling? You win! I'm just gonna openly like what I like. ' Geeks tend to be a little happier with themselves.
After 'Freaks and Geeks,' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks, every single mole on my body. They tried to cover them on my first two episodes of 'Dawson's Creek,' and it just looked ridiculous, so I had to put my foot down. But it's not something I'm insecure about.
There's been a greater awareness among people, especially geeks, that the laws of physics don't allow that much wiggle room in terms of things like faster-than-light travel, time travel, sending people to other planets. It's harder than we were aware a few decades ago. I think there used to be this widespread imagination, this idea that we'd eventually just hop in a rocket and go to Mars.
The geeks shall inherit the earth.
Freaks and Geeks' was a show where our individuality was really celebrated.
If we're going to reach a broader audience, we have to stop thinking about that audience strictly in terms of teenage boys or even teenage girls. We need to think about things that are relevant to normal humans and not just the geeks we used to be.
I knew we’d wear them down,” Eve said. “After all, we really are amazingly cool. ” And now it was Eve’s turn for the high five with Shane. “For a bunch of misfit geeks, slackers, and losers. ” Which one are you?” Shane asked. She flipped him off. “Oh, right. Loser. Thanks for reminding me.
I don't want to do anything to revisit Freaks and Geeks that isn't awesome.
Sports (and the often barely withheld violence around them) have become one of the few modern ways to connect with strangers. They give an amazing number of geeks things to talk about. In the old days we settled for, "Hello, how are you?
What people refer to as nerds or geeks, all they really are is people who are passionate about what they like, and aren't afraid of it. To me, it's very frustrating when people are discourage from being enthusiastic about things. This idea of the geek, or the nerd; all that person really is - and I would consider myself one - is someone who is not ashamed of liking what they enjoy.
I'm a rock star among geeks, wonks, and nerds.
Obviously geek culture is super influential, the web kind of started from a very geeky point of view because geeks are all about technology.
Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.
Beware of geeks, you know, bearing formulas.
