I love Steven Wright. I was in high school in the '80s, and there was a lot of stand up on television.

Specifically in stand-up, I love jokes. I love short, structured ideas and a punchline.

I was student council president in high school, and even in law school, I was vice-president of the student bar association.

And of course I didn't make any money from stand up for years, so I had temp jobs. That was the way I made money.
