Hosting A Game Show Is So Bizarre

With Stand-up, You Can Be As Freeform As You Want To Be. You Can Say What You Want, How You Want, At Any Moment Without Constraint.

As A Game-show Host, What I'm Thinking And What I'm Experiencing Doesn't Matter. My Opinion Doesn't Matter. So There's A Flattened Reality To It. It's Fun To Do. But It's Certainly Not Myself In Totality - Or Even Maybe A Little Bit.

When You're Writing Something, And You're Putting Yourself Out There, Or You're Performing And Someone Comes In And Savages That, Then Of Course It Feels Personal. It Doesn't Feel Like It's Just Business, Because There's No Business - It's Not Like We're Conducting Business, This Anonymous Critic And I. It's Just That This Person Is Tearing Me A New Asshole.

If I Revise A Children's Book, If I'm Spending Three Hours On The First Draft, I'm Probably Spending 30 Minutes Revising It. I Mean, Come On! But To Redo A Painting? That's Hard Work.

There's Things I Know I'm Good At, And Those Things Interest Me Less And Less. I Learn A Lot More From Doing It Wrong Than I Do From Doing It Right.
