Is It Hard To Make A Living

I Came Upon Whatever I'm Doing Organically. I Didn't Study Anything. I Don't Have Any Real Aspirations Other Than To Connect With Somebody, And To Have The Conversation Be Genuine. That's The Best That Can Happen. Even If It Only Happens For 10 Minutes In An Episode. But I Think What People Forget Is That You Don't Have To Try To Get A Comedian To Be Funny. Comedians Are Innately Funny. That The Real Challenge Of Talking To Them Is To Get Them Talking About Real Things And Then See Where They Need To Be Funny. And Let Them Do That On Their Own Volition.

I Look At Every Book As A Self-help Book.

My Dad Is Actually A Manic Depressive, Which Is Very Exciting Half The Time.

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.

My Monologues Aren't Always Funny. They're Generally Thoughtful. Sometimes At Different Levels Of Aggravation. And Sometimes No Aggravation. But The Pressure On Me Is Not To Be Joke-efficient When I'm Talking On This Mic. And That Sets The Tone.
