I'd say any good set or any comedy that I've worked on, that's worked, has been comedians pitching ideas back and forth to each other. A lot of like, 'What if you say this? What about this?'

I think the hardest thing is to know what you want, ask for it, and then to stop talking.

It's easier to be brave when you're not alone.

You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.

Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.

Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life, the better.

I have realized that mystery is what keeps people away, and I've grown tired of smoke and mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place. So let's peek behind the curtain and hail the others like us. The open-faced sandwiches who take risks and live big and smile with all of their teeth. These are the people I want to be around. This is the honest way I want to live and love and write.
