inspirational mother perspective
My perspective on my mother has changed immensely. She was a lot taller when I was younger.
names safety entertainment
I've been chased. I've been pushed. I've been screamed at. I've been verbally abused. I've been afraid for my safety. But I did it all in the name of entertainment.
circles tables comedy
We were a very small circle of writers. Everybody brought to the table their own life experience.
mom mother kids

I would just do things that tickled my fancy in the moment, and she would ask me who I was entertaining. I'd say, 'Well, me.'

Now I have new stories and I feel refreshed. There is talk of Bobby's World eventually coming back. I would be happy to do that.

games tickets roles
If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
moving skills rocks
There's no skill. You can be a rock and move into another tax bracket.
care mental-health dental
If we take care of our mental health like our dental health; we'll be ok.
release ifs
You release these things, and if they fly then you have more.
thinking healthy world
I think the solution to making this world better is if we would just be healthy, mentally,
