I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great.
As an actor, sometimes you feel a pressure to change yourself from time to time.
The idea of doing stand-up is terrifying to me.
In my theater days I assumed that you had to get rid of yourself to do a character well, and I donโt think I was a very good actor when I did that.
Technically, I'm a New Yorker.
Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
