The Next Evolutionary Step Is

I'm Not A Narcissist, But I Definitely Have Gotten Enough Explosive Narcissistic Shrapnel From My Father. I'm Sort Of Wired That Way, But I Don't Feel That I'm Pathological, So All I Can Pull From Is My Own Existence And My Knowledge.

I Knew Most Of My Radio Listeners Were Lefty Political People, And I Decided Definitively Not To Be That Guy - Not To Address Politics.

God Doesn't Seem To Talk To People Like He Used To. Who's He Talking To Now? I Don't Know. Then I'm Walking Down The Street In Manhattan One Day, And I Realize Maybe It's Those Guys You See Walking Down The Street Talking To Themselves. You Know, Those Guys That Are Like, 'i Can't! No, I Can't!' Maybe The Other Side Of That Conversation Is God Going, 'you're The New Leader.' 'no I Can't!' They're Not Crazy - They're Reluctant Prophets.

One Thing I'm Grateful For, And Also Surprised And Excited About, Is That I Have A Place In The Community Of Comics Now. In A Real Way. And I Honor That. A Lot Of What I Do Is In Support Of The Community And Bringing New Talent - Talking To People That People Don't Know. And Defining Us As A Community.

In My Life, I Didn't Get Into Comedy To Be - I Had No Business Model. All I Wanted To Do Was, Basically, Finish Becoming Myself. And You Stand In Front Of People And Be Seen And Heard In This Format. I Thought It Was The Most Practical Format For Me To Express Whatever It Was I Was Going Through. Whatever My Ideas Were In My Evolving Philosophy About Life. I Obviously Don't Sell Out Theaters. I'm Not A Household Name. I'm Not Incredibly Consistent In Terms Of Doing The Same Act Over And Over Again, And I'm Definitely Working Out A Lot Of My Existential Issues Onstage.
