When I Was A Young Kid I

I Don't Really Compartmentalize Well. I'm In A State Of Anxiety And Panic A Lot, But It's For Different Reasons. It Used To Be Because I Had Nothing Going On, But I Work Very Hard And There Doesn't Seem To Be An End To It.

I Found A Great Deal Of Relief And Excitement Watching Comics When I Was Very Young. My Grandmother Was Very Into Them And So Was My Grandfather. They Had A Profound Effect On Me, So I Just Found Myself Watching Comedians On The After-school Shows: Merv Griffin And That Kind Of Stuff.

I Remember Seeing Richard Pryor's First Movie; It Was A Midnight Movie When I Was In High School. I Must Have Been About Fifteen. It Was One Of The Most Cathartic Experiences Of My Life. I'd Never Laughed That Much.

I Look At Every Book As A Self-help Book.

I Didn't Really Want To Kill Myself, It Just Made Me Feel Better To Know I Could If I Wanted To.
