It's hard to know where your thoughts come from, especially when you have a thirst for material because you need it professionally.
Louis C. K.Sorry - Americans only buy things that come from suffering. They just enjoy it more when they know someone's getting hurt.
Louis C. K.The earliest stand-up comedy I was aware of was Bill Cosby. I watched Saturday Night Live as soon as I was aware of it, and Monty Python used to be on PBS at weird hours, so I used to try to watch that. And I loved George Carlin on SNL, that was the first stand-up I ever really remember seeing on TV. And then Steve Martin. I guess I was in fifth or sixth grade when Steve Martin showed up, and he was instantly my idol. And Richard Pryor around the same time too, I sort of became aware of him, though I don't remember the first time I saw him.
