My daily surroundings feed my work, whether it's something I'm working on right now or it's something down the road.

A lot of times, working in stand up, youre by yourself ,and so you just have to rely on yourself only but I like working in an ensemble.

I can't imagine being on one of those shows where people have to look nice.

Music is very transporting. I'll hear a song for the first time and I rarely listen to the lyrics. I picture that song playing as a soundtrack to a movie, or even just in the background of someone's life. This all sounds weird, but I have an active imagination, and music opens the floodgates of that area of my brain.

My daily surroundings feed my work, whether it's something I'm working on right now or it's something down the road.

Stop trying to figure it out. I love puzzles, but when I'm done putting together a puzzle, I feel accomplished, and then I wonder, "What's next?" Then I go start another puzzle. Life is a puzzle that I feel like we'll never fully put together. And I like that because, ultimately, I don't want to have life figured out and then wonder, "What's next?" That seems scary to me.

I stand in my own way on a daily basis. I don't know if this is something I will ever overcome completely, and I'm oddly okay with that.
