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.
tired talking people
I sort of get tired of myself sometimes. When you're busy, your life becomes relatively small. But I never get tired of talking to other people.
thinking talking people
I think sharing experience makes everything better. When people get talking about how they've overcome something or how they haven't, it's nourishing.
mean air talking
Once I learned how to talk, personally, by myself to any number of people, which means do radio without talking to anyone in particular on the air - I just found that my brain became very free to engage in a sort of stream-of-consciousness style of doing what I do.
funny humor talking
Have you ever had one of those moments when you look up and realize that you're one of those people you see on the train talking to themselves?
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.
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.
