While I don't script and I don't use other performers, I think my taste for underlying precision gives me something in common with Allan and George Brecht.

While I've had a great distaste for what's usually called song in modern poetry or for what's usually called music, I really don't think of speech as so far from song.

I think it's always challenging to look at a script and make it your own while maintaining the sense of what the style of the show is.

I'm aware of my audience in a way, and I do try to engage with them while I'm trying to go about my business of thinking. I believe they help me by providing a focus.

I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.

I think of my career as something apart from myself.
