When I Was A Young

All I Can Do In The Context Of Pursuing Any Sort Of Tv Thing, And All I've Done In The Past, Is Offer Your Life At Any Given Point In Time To Whatever Situation You're In.

I'm Just Looking For Authentic Engagement Of Some Kind, And Usually, After An Hour Or More, You Get That. Some People Talk At You. Some People Just Want To Answer Questions, But A Lot Of Times, All Of A Sudden You Drift Away, And You Don't Remember You're On The Mic, And You're In Something Real.

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.

I Find That If I Don't Do Interviews, I Get A Little Squirrely. I Think That When You Engage With Someone Else, Or When You Engage In Something You're Passionate About, You're Sort Of Out Of Your Own Head.

I Found A Great Deal Of Relief And Excitement Watching Comics When I Was Very Young. My Grandmother Was Very Into Them And So Was My Grandfather. They Had A Profound Effect On Me, So I Just Found Myself Watching Comedians On The After-school Shows: Merv Griffin And That Kind Of Stuff.
