Maria BamfordIn L.A., a lot of comics live here, but we don't get to spend that much time together because we've got to drive 45 minutes home, or do another set.

If I'm checking it all day I start to feel cuckoo-bird. So I just do it once or twice a day instead of a thousand. And then remembering that it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.
