I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be when I started

I don't feel I'm even worthy of a normal amount of value.

I mean, I've had bartenders and waiters and waitresses make a comment about a joke of mine, like pointing out some sort of logic error or something that I've never even thought about, and they're right.

I mean, I've always had scattered interests, but I never went on stage to get an agent or anything like that

The problem with a lot of comedy clubs is not that they are a comedy club; it's just the cheesy way they're presenting themselves. That's why a lot of people have a problem with them. If you're a relatively unknown comedian, you can play at a comedy club, you might play to hundreds of people every night. But if you try to make a concert event out of it, and try to play a rock club or something, where you might play to 10 people or no people. And the flipside of that is, that's also a great thing, to play to people who are your fans. Some people are too hard on the comedy clubs.

I did end up doing substitute teaching, but there's not a lot of teaching involved in that.

Buddha, much like everyone else has good and bad days.
