Life Is Measured By How You Lived

For About Three Years I Was Performing At One Bar In East Los Angeles That Was Like A Mean Dive Bar. You're In There Performing For Drunks Or Bikers, Not The Most Flattering People. I Think It Helped Build My Confidence, Because You Have To Get Their Attention, Then Make Them Laugh.

As A Comedian, Especially One That Works As Much As I Do, There Is A Lot Of Sacrifice. People Don't See That I'm Away From My Family 46 Weeks Out Of The Year. I Miss All The Birthdays And Anniversaries And Holidays.

Comedians Do Movies And Tv So That When They Tour, They Sell Out. That's The Goal: To Get Popular Enough So The Place Is Packed.

Being On Tv Sucks. It's A Lot Of Work. You Memorize Scripts And Then You Show Up And They Change Everything. I'm A Control Freak. When I'm Doing Stand-up, I Say What I Want And Then I Get Instant Feedback.

Understand That You Don't Know It All. You Don't Know Anything Yet. What You've Been Taught Is Great, But Always Go With Common Sense. And Don't Marry Your First Love.
