One Of The Things That Happens When People Make The Leap From A Certain Amount Of Money To Tens Of Millions Of Dollars Is That The People Around You Dramatically Change.

At The Time, I Was Reading This Miles Davis Book, And He Was Talking About Coming To New York Right After He Was In High School. It Kind Of Made Me Feel Like, "yeah."

I Felt Like I Was Strong Enough And Unique Enough That I Should Give It A Big Leash To Shine. New York Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me As A Comedian.

When I'm On Stage, I Get Real Happy There. Maybe That's The Only Time In My Adult Life I Feel Like Myself.
