american-entertainer bred club comics created destroyed great industry intimacy jobs profession
The development of the comedy club industry destroyed the uniqueness and intimacy of the profession but it also created jobs for comics and bred some great performers.
american-entertainer cheap created demand eighties exploit standup
The demand for standup in the eighties was created by how easy it was to exploit 'comedians' and create very cheap television programming.
american-entertainer hard
There are also always those burnt, hard kernels at the bottom that don't pop. You know why they don't pop? They don't pop because they have integrity.
anxiety despair world
The worst thing about living in this world, in general, is that things get overwhelming, and things cause a tremendous amount of despair and anxiety.
anxiety panic different
I don't really compartmentalize well. I'm in a state of anxiety and panic a lot, but it's for different reasons. It used to be because I had nothing going on, but I work very hard and there doesn't seem to be an end to it.
funny reading humor
I'm proud to be part of a generation where reading is a 'look.'
notebook new-york guitar
When I was a young comic in New York and I wasn't getting any work, I was wandering around the Lower East Side with my notebook. I would stop at the guitar place on St. Mark's and talk to that dude for a while, then I'd go to the bookstore and talk to that dude for a little while. I had a guy over at the record store, and I'd talk to him for a while. It kept me connected to life.
beautiful talking people
Conversation is a beautiful thing. When I was a younger guy, just wandering around talking to people was what kept me connected to the world.
matter bother wells
I'm not fundamentally a writer. I know writers, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. It bothers me that no matter how well I do it, it's not really my format.
thinking interviews passionate
I find that if I don't do interviews, I get a little squirrely. I think that when you engage with someone else, or when you engage in something you're passionate about, you're sort of out of your own head.
arguing sometimes controversy
I don't seek controversy. I don't seek to antagonize. Sometimes it happens, but I'm not there to argue politics.
laughing people stories
My favorite part is being engaged with somebody's story and life, and getting a laugh with people I have a tremendous amount of respect for or not, and being challenged by the immediacy of conversation.
effort brain contentment
There are a lot of things that I'm allowing myself to be, but it's a conscious effort to experience contentment for me. My brain doesn't do that naturally. I'm very overwhelmed all of the time.
memories emotional passing-moments
I'm weird; I have a very strange emotional memory. I really somehow hold on to even passing moments with people.
