kids class way
When you're a kid, you always feel you have this weird kindred-spirit thing with other Jews, until you get older and you realize it's just middle-class bourgeois Jews that sort of fit a template that your family fits into one way or another.
worry people way
It's great to have people come out. I do worry, though. They know me very intimately, in a way, if they listen to my show; they know a lot about me.
cat self way
There's something about cats' self-sufficiency and their seemingly individualistic ways that I find compelling.
father narcissistic way
I'm not a narcissist, but I definitely have gotten enough explosive narcissistic shrapnel from my father. I'm sort of wired that way, but I don't feel that I'm pathological, so all I can pull from is my own existence and my knowledge.
guy mind way
In a lot of ways, I'm seeking some sort of peace of mind for myself. I'm a fairly emotionally petty, resentful guy who has an inflated sense of himself, and I needed to take that down a notch.
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.
