Video: Get Inspired with John Mulaney, Patti Smith, and Maria Hinojosa
"I always recommend going into the arts because you just meet a lot of fun people. That balances out some of the times that you don't have enough money to take the subway." — John Mulaney
Comedian John Mulaney; journalist Maria Hinojosa; singers Tori Amos and Patti Smith; and writers Samantha Irby, Abby McEnany, David Mitchell, and Madeline Miller talk working for tacos and pepsi, Meryl Streep-esk similes, songs for senators, socially distanced hugs, and more!
