I belong to a gym now... well, let me rephrase that: I don't belong there at all, but I go.

The more you perform, the more adept you get at the nuances of navigating that communal conversation.

A person riding a unicycle on a tightrope doesn't worry about being likeable; they're doing something amazing that very few people can do.

Certainly, you want to be liked, but as you gain confidence and experience you're more concerned with expressing yourself and what matters to you.

It's a constant process of bouncing ideas off of one another and intuitively arriving at the right decision in the moment.

You'll get them tomorrow. You gave it a good shot. Keep your chin up.

That heightened dynamic can produce interesting, funny ideas that are phrased in ways that surprise even you, as the performer.
