The thing about narcissistic people is that they don't think they're being narcissistic.

Shuffling really isn't something you should be doing on your deathbed.

There's things I know I'm good at, and those things interest me less and less. I learn a lot more from doing it wrong than I do from doing it right.

Sometimes the criticism is actually useful and constructive and actually informs what I do, but most of the time, it's sort of mindless, or they're receiving something on a different frequency than I was sending it. They're just not getting what I'm doing, and that's fine.

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players, bands that play quiet, unassuming music, and TV shows that win awards. In that way, I am an elitist snob. And proud of it.

With stand-up, you can be as freeform as you want to be. You can say what you want, how you want, at any moment without constraint.

I don't necessarily self-identify as a writer, 'cause it implies a certain level of intelligence.
