audience believe dad delighted good hearing looking loves members strangers talked
My dad loves to be talked about, good or bad. He just loves it. He's not even hearing the content, he's just hearing him. When I'm onstage, he's looking at the audience members and can't believe that there are strangers listening to me, and he's just delighted by the whole thing.
laughing audience knows
The audience works as such a mob. They either all laugh or all don't laugh, and, you know, changes from audience to audience.
mean audience
It's just hard to say, "Well, I do this, which means this." If I'm telling you exactly who I am, then there's nothing for the audience to say.
surprise audience
I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.
chance disappoint audience
You have to take the chance to bomb and disappoint audiences.
coke courtney crazy curious love violent
You got it, doll, I was curious to see which Courtney Love was going to show up: the smeared-lipstick crazy coke whore or the violent smeared-lipstick crazy coke whore.

What are the chances there is a God, really?
bullies comics dark humorous laugh laughter numb periods sad scared survival
I always want to laugh at the sad stuff. You don't need to laugh at the other stuff. I'm not numb to these things. I still go into really dark periods about Sept. 11. I think it's kind of like bullies. Bullies are just scared and thin-skinned, so they have to become bullies as a kind of survival tactic. I think comics are that way, too.
common
but it's not as common as you would think.
paper shape sit
I'm always writing; I'm always jotting things down on paper or making notes in my iPhone. Then I'll make myself sit down and kind of shape it up, but there's really no other way to practice other than onstage.
people punches safe society space
People need to feel like they're not being attacked, like they're in a safe space where no punches are being pulled.
funny
I say 'I'm sorry.' It usually disarms them.
body experience remember
I remember when I got a part on 'Seinfeld' it was like an out of body experience, I was so excited.
guess luther martin
Guess what, Martin Luther King? I had a (expletive) dream, too.
