What Would I Put In A Museum?

Well, I Always Had This Desire To Celebrate And Somehow Be A Part Of Things That I Thought Were Really Great.

The Nice Thing About Live Performance Is That I've Never, Ever Been Let Down. Partly I'm Lucky That My Audience Self-selects Itself. Generally They Know What They're In For, And Generally We All Just Like Each Other And Get Along. But I Always Find One Or Two Or A Dozen Really Interesting People In The Audience Who Make The Show Different. And That's One Of The Things I Really Like About Performing.

The Very Idea That There Is No Truth, But Only The Filter Of Narrative Through Which Truth Is Invented Is Something I Learned At The Feet Of The Most Leftist Professors At Yale And Am Learning Again From Sarah Palin During The Vice Presidential Debate, And I Find That Very Disorienting.

That Catharsis Is Really The Core Of The Incredibly Personal Comedy Of Louis C.k. Or Marc Maron Or Whatever. And Look - I Find It Fascinating That I'm Sitting Here Talking About Some Of These Things, And Not To Low Tones, And My Kids Are In The Other Room. I Have To Trust That If They Hear What I'm Saying And They Have Questions About It, I'll Be Able To Answer It, And That's Fine. But That's Part Of The Scariness Of It - The Reality Of Opening Up My Own Life And My Own Feelings.

Everything We Make In Life, Eventually, Is Sold For A Dollar Or A Penny Or Given Away.
