I Want To Experience As Many Different Tastes, Sights, Emotions, Conflicts, And Cultures As Possible, So That I Can Expand The Canvas Of My Memory And Enrich My Comedy.

I'm Still Very Much An Atheist, Except That I Don't Necessarily See Religion As Being A Bad Thing. So, That's A Weird Thing That I'm Struggling With That Seems To Be Offending Both Atheists And People That Are Religious.

I Like Confounding Expectations. I Can Expand What It Is I Am Able To Do, And Hopefully Get To Do More Weird, Interesting Projects Like This. There's Nothing Wrong With Doing Comedies, And I'm Not Against Comedies, Either, But I Always Want To Do Stuff That Keeps Me Off My Guard And Gets Me Out Of My Comfort Zone. And How The Audience Perceives That... It's Out Of My Hands. And I Don't Get That Frustrated By It, Because I'm On To The Next Thing At That Point.

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.

There's No Destination. There's No Getting Anywhere. There's Just The Going. The Key To Life Is To Make The Going Really Fun. Because People That Are Like, “if I Just Get To This, Then Boom!” And Then They Get There And There's This Dawning Of An Afterwards. Whereas I'm Just Always In The Going. And It's Not A Frantic Going Like, “i Gotta Keep Going Or I'm Gonna Go Nuts!” I Can Not Do Anything For Weeks Or Months If I Need To And Just Sit And Read Books Or Watch Movies. I'm Just As Fine Consuming And Absorbing New Art As I Am Trying To Make It. But It's All In The Going.
