• Depression is such a cruel punishment. There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern. Just the slow erosion of the self, as insidious as any cancer. And, like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience. A room in hell with only your name on the door.

• As a kid, I was always listening to music. I would just go in to my room and put on an album, read the lyrics, and just spend hours and hours in there. Plus, my sister Laurie played piano (in fact she taught me my first few notes) so music was always around one way or another.

• The only way I'd want to do something in television would be if it was about how I think as a comedian. I'd need to be able to be a creator.

That's not fun. At least not for me.

• When you play a smaller, more intimate venue, you can have real conversations with your audience, take risks, and stay current.
