Whether you're with a group of people, whether you're playing music or whether you're by yourself, even if it's written material, you have to be listening.

In a strange way, music and comedy is kind of the same thing. I'm both.They're just different modes of expression.

I'm not into looking crisp. That's not how I dress or who I am.
Reggie Watts
Image
I always did music, but music is an easier thing for me. Making videos and doing comedy things was more of a challenge, so I was more interested in that. Music is a little bit more automatic.

I've always wanted to do a Shakespearean soliloquy, or a fake Shakespearean soliloquy, and now I'm doing that more often in shows. Things I've always wanted to do starting to happen.
