There's A Very Fine Line Between Political Comedian And Activist, And I Don't Really Think I Fall Over Into The Activist Category.

You've Got To Have Gumption. You've Got To Be Willing To Stand Up On The Stage For No Money For Ten Years.

Sometimes You're Just Interviewing Someone And You're Thinking The Entire Time, How Can I Get Through This Really Quickly? Because I Know This Isn't Gonna Make It. This Person Is Either Too Long-winded Or Deathly Boring, Or They Don't Have The Point Of View That Supports What You're Trying To Do In The Piece.

It's Very Disconcerting To Have A Camera Shoved In Your Face. It's Really Discombobulating. If You're The Least Bit Nervous You Forget What You Just Said, You Can't Find Your Way Through, You Can't Follow The Logic Of Your Own Statements Sometimes. It's A Weird Sensation. And I Think That Really Helps To Lock People In Place.
