There's So Much Joy In Doing Comedy

I Like How Pure The Expression Is In Music. You Can Go Straight To The Heart Of An Audience Rather Than Through Their Brain.

The Thing I Tried To Remember When I Was Younger Was 'do Something That's At Least As Good, If Not Better, Than The Last Thing You Did.' So I Started With Brian De Palma And Sean Penn. I Had A Pretty High Bar To Start With.

[country Music] Is The Final Destination For Many Punk Rockers [...] Rockabilly Is The Mid-point And Then [they] End Up At Country [...] There's Purity To That Music And I Think That Appeals To A Lot Of Punk Rock People - The Precision, The Purity, And The Directness Of Country Music.

I'm Not A Big Fan Of Kids' Movies That Have This Knowing Snarkiness To Them Or This Post-modern Take On Storytelling. I Think That Sails Right Over The Heads Of Most Kids. There's Something To Be Said For A Well-told Fairy Tale. There's A Reason That These Mythic Stories Stay With Us.

Here's The Thing, With Comedy - And I Learned This From Will Ferrell - You Can't Be Ashamed. If You're Doing Comedy, You Have To Fully Commit To The Joke. Shame Is Not Part Of It. If You Act Shy Or Uncomfortable About Your Body, That Makes The Audience Shy And Uncomfortable. And In A Comedy You Just Want Them To Loosen Up And Laugh.
