I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude - which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists. It's nice to be with other comics, as usually at other road gigs, I'm solo for the most part.

I have trouble watching singers because they are so sincere.

Here's the Middle East. Here's the mosque, here's the church, open the temple, everybody's MAD!

I do some compassionate mindfulness every day. It's like a Buddhist thing. I tell myself that I'm doing a good job, that kind of thing. It makes me feel better.

I get sort of short with people and start grumbling and clearing my throat - in honor of my father - when I'm impatient. It's very charming.

I love support groups, people talking about their feelings.

I've never really thought of myself as depressed so much as I am paralyzed by hope.
