I'm a very slow honer, I'll work on a joke for months, months, months, months, maybe even a year and I hone it so slowly even though it may sound kind of in the moment.

  43. “I'm going to have to say a very solid I don't know. But I just, I couldn't begin to guess what the future holds for us in terms of. Think the sooner people realize we're all totally connected and you're fighting with yourself basically, the better. But I do think we're at really like the pendulum has frozen in both. And they're almost a mirror image of each other in a real fucked up way as much as Neither side would want to see that. What is your answer to that? I mean, listen, when you leave social media for a while, you realize it's not the whole world. It's not even most of the world or half of the run's a very small part of the world.

  46. “Be changed by it or disagree with it, maybe, but wonder about it. It's like when you get notes from a network, and I know there must be a, I know this sounds very specific to, you know, show business, but of course any job where you have a boss. And you get notes from a network and you go, this is stupid. This is not even, there's always something that they're onto, some germ of something, the spirit of that note that you need to figure out because they're onto something. But they made me don't know how to articulate it.”

  47. “Well, I never heard the whole thing. All I knew is don't fear failure. Failure should be a badge of honor. It means you risked failure. Look at all these concept of cancel culture, and I can argue either side of it. Passionately, but another thing is if you think of yourself as a risk taker in comedy, for instance, the thing that makes it a risk is that there's something to lose, is that there's consequences. You can't just say, I'm risky and then be angry if there are any consequences You got to take it.”

  48. “But that it doesn't matter the choice. It doesn't make a difference. You're going to wind up where you're going to wind up, but make one. Because it can be so paralyzing, I think. Not wanting to make a mistake. And I think What I learned from that basketball analogy as well, along with a brilliant quote by Charlie Kaufman, and it's being talked about a lot just in general, is how essential failure is and what you do with it, which is not a new concept anymore.”

  49. “Just always kind of, I don't know. I love the stuff I do. I think of myself as I do odd jobs. And like when I couldn't do standup, I said, well, I have to do a podcast. What am I going to do with all of this? But I do think part of the longevity is just being open to be changed. What I learned after that first special that I talked about, that really changed my life along with therapy. To be brave enough to bomb, to change and no longer have the same fans, to disappoint people and just go on the trajectory I go on. There's a line and a song and a musical. Sunday in the park with George. It's a song called Move On, and she says, The choice may be mistaken the choosing is not you've got to move on and it does free you. I feel like you can thinking of that. It's the whole play is quite brilliant. It's about art and life.”

I didn't know how to just, you know, and eventually I just put my head down and kept doing stand-up and it led me wherever it led me. I've really never made a plan. In show business, I've never thought like I want to do this, or I know this is maybe not, it's not advice at all, but I've never set goals for myself.”
