I'm So Beyond Genre, Drama, Comedies, I

As You Get Older, As A Comedian, And Keep Doing It, What You Actually Start To Cherish On Stage Is Not The Build-up To The Jokes, But How Comfortable You Can Be In The Silence And The Non-laughing Parts, And How Long You Can Take The Audience Without A Laugh To Then Get A Huge Reaction.

I Love The Beginning Of Magnolia, The Thing About The Dealer. That Scene Is Genius. Brilliantly Acted.

There's Something Kind Of Beautiful About That Pure Love Of Things. Like, "i'll Show That I Love The Thing I Love By Hating Everything Else."

All The Truly Great Stand-ups Say, "i Go Onstage, And I Work On Jokes. The Inspiration Will Happen While I'm Doing My Work." To Me, In The End, The Surest Thing Is Work.

I'm Grateful That I Had That Uphill Battle For 10 Years Of Going Onstage And Having Nobody Know Who I Was, Because You Have To Win Them Over. I Have A Lot Of Friends Who Were Stand-ups, And They Just Stopped After A While, Because They Didn't Like That Battle. And Then They Would Get On A Sitcom And Get Visible And Get Back Into It, Because The Audience Was Just Way Easier On Them. That's Why They're Okay Stand-ups, But They're Never Going To Be Great, Because They Don't Have That Presence. They Never Built Those Muscles Up.
