- There are no bad open mics simply because, when you do open mics, you should be stretching every sense of you. It's like a boxer. When you're going into training, you've got to jump rope, you've got to push yourself, you've got to strain your muscles. You've got to go a little bit crazy. You've got to have people yell at you. You've got to have people disinterested. There's no such thing as a bad open mic. I think a comic should do every show and open mic they possibly can.
- Even when I was a kid I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew it was in performing, making people laugh; I always wanted to make people laugh.
- For me, improv was a great base as a performer, as I learned what my voice and style were. Also, I find in stand up, the audience is my scene partner. They don't have to speak, but you as a performer know what they want and feel. For sketch, sometimes a joke works best being seen. Whatever is funniest for the idea: Sometimes it's a one liner, sometimes it's a three page character sketch.
