I feel that in-person contact with people is the most important thing in comedy. While I'm up on stage, I can actually put myself into the audience and adjust my pace and tuning to them.

That was my grand dad. Some of the things he said stunned me, but his words were logical. I'll never forget them.

The mother may be doing ninety percent of the disciplining, but the father still must have a full-time acceptance of all the children.
