No one wants to drown. Drowning would be the worst. Cause everyone knows that feeling. That feeling, oh it's the worst... when you think you're drowning.
If you live far away from a person you no longer want to date just let them know that they are geographically undesirable.
If haters or whatever want to find you - I mean, some of them are so tenacious. You want to hire them to work for you. Theyre very, very savvy in terms of how they find you and get to you.
I have new ideas every day, and I always want to take on new challenges.
I don't have to do anything for anyone else's benefit anymore. I just want to exceed my own expectations.
Sometimes, when you want to make a difference in a person's life, stay out of it.
I could take my time, and nobody was pressuring me to be a headliner. I could go up there, find my voice, and figure out what I wanted to do.

I had the humble beginnings. I was doing comedy in laundry mats in 1992, literally where I would bring a little gorilla amp and a lapel mike and just start performing.
My mother had a lot of phobias. She's pregnant with me and she was a very phobic person. So I was born into phobia, basically.
I'm completely ecstatic when a woman has own back story and brings something to the table and has a real strong kind of independence.
I'm interested in doing everything and anything that I can to squeeze that creativity out of my brain. I guess I'm sort of a performance rat.
