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.
funny humor thinking
I'm not a racist. It's really case by case; it's not ethnicity specific. It's just the way I react to things that are different. I think that's normal. Everyone's nervous when they're confronted with things that they don't understand or are different. That's a normal human reaction. It doesn't become racist 'til you say things like, 'Oh, there's a lot of them.'
thinking what-if together
I think most other comics are like, "I'm going to do my fkin' act and that'll be that." With me, it's like, "What if I forget my jokes? What if I can't pull it together? This is going to be a fking disaster!"
thinking comforting planning
I once talked about wanting to kill myself, but I don't think I was ever really planning on doing it. It was just comforting to know that I could.
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.
school heart thinking
I think seeing Pryor's first movie, Live In Concert, when I was in high school changed my life. Pryor really put the heart in darkness for me.
thinking taste inspired
I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.
thinking long forever
It may have lost its special-ness forever and the clubs might not being doing well but I think standup is in the best shape it has been in a long time.
thinking needs interviews
I don't make a list of questions. Ever. I think a lot of my interviews are driven by my need to feel connection.
funny humor thinking
I don't care what anybody says, I think that George Bush is absolutely the right president to oversea the end of the world.
writing thinking evolve
I think things evolve into jokes. I don't generally write them down as jokes. I talk them out.
thinking ideas bullshit
If you let someone talk for an hour, you're gonna have a pretty good idea of who they are, and I think that's more rewarding than me sitting there going, "That's complete bullshit about health care."
thinking mediocrity may
Some of you may be perfectly happy with mediocrity. Some of you will get nothing but heartbreak. Some of you will be heralded as geniuses and become huge. Of course, all of you think that one describes you...hence the delusion necessary to push on.
pain thinking self
We live in a culture where people are self-centered and careerist and everybody seems to think they have too much on their plate or they just don't have time for other people's pain.
