As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud, the anger is elevated, sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.

I am in the Master of Professional Writing program teaching Humor Writing, Literary and Dramatic.

The old problems - love, money, security, status, health, etc. - are still here to plague us or please us.

I was an actor before becoming a comedian.

As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.

I believe it is important for comedians to know who came before them.

My whole act is confession.
