You have to be really careful to watch out for the difference between banding together, and being grouped together by people who don't understand you.
I just want to be able to be creative.
Not often is there as much of a vulnerable side as there is a funny side.
I don't make a lot of mistakes, honestly. I'm an A-student, I'm an Ivy Leaguer. I need those things.
I feel like when I go on stage I feel so excited at the prospect that there will be a true connection.
There was a while when I got really bad stage fright and I basically felt...I was incredibly angry. I felt like everything had been taken away from me and it was at that point that I realized how much doing stand up reminds me of my self love and curiosity about myself and love of other people because I don't go on stage to dominate.
