thinking sat imaginary
I don't think I've ever prayed in my entire life, never sat and had an imaginary chat with God.
thinking achievement way
Because of the way I've made my money or the way I've conducted myself in public to get success, it doesn't make me any better a person. So I always thought money and achievement would make me a more legitimate person, where my family seems to think it's all about actions.
thinking play guy
There's a lot of guys up there who like wearing a suit or try doing jokes that they think will play to a certain crowd, or maybe get them corporate work. I've always written jokes that I would want to hear. So, I'm trying to entertain myself more than anything.
mother successful thinking
No matter how successful I got, my mother still thinks I'm a bad person, basically.
character plot-lines trying
Stand-up is just me trying to be as funny as possible in the most concentrated hour with me standing on stage with no storyline, no plot line, and no character development.
bit criticise harder knows move team trying wants work
I'm not trying to criticise Kris but I think he knows if he isn't scoring, he's got to do a bit more. He has to do his bit for the team and work harder if he wants to move on.
gun people upset
I don't want people to leave the show being upset. So if I am trying to do a new joke, and sometimes I will talk about things like gun control or hostile massacre and I notice people being upset I will change the direction.
crazy people crazy-people
The thing about crazy people; they don't know they are crazy, that's what make them crazy.
believe believe-in-god questioning
I was 13 when I was started questioning and 16 when I stopped believing in God.
age acting world
I can't imagine being a woman in the world of acting, like where you age starts to weigh you down - you go from being attractive to where they [directors] decided you're out... I feel like with stand-up comedy, it doesn't matter if I've gotten fatter.
people giving gone
I always get a little bit pissed off when stand-up comedy is not recognised as being as good a craft as being an actor. We give Oscars to people and it's like, 'Aw, this person is the greatest person on earth', but being an actor is pretty easy in comparison to stand-up comedy. It's no surprise that several stand-up comics have gone on to become great actors. I don't know any great actors that have gone on to become great stand-up comics.
