I started doing standup when I was in college, and I would incorporate a lot of characters into my act.

Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.

I feel like I've grown and become a more consummate performer. I feel like I've chiseled out a more distinctive niche.

Once I started doing stand-up, everything fell into place. That was when I started acting more; I felt like I'd found my place in the business.

I am much pleased to find how very well I stand work & how my powers of attention & continued effort increase.

The thing that's changed the way I do my stand-up act is having kids and getting older and wiser and smarter. There might be a joke or two in the past that I wish I hadn't done, but in the past, you can't have it back.

I've never really considered doing stand up, but I have done readings/spoken word things fairly often in which I'll just tell a bunch of stories and run off at the mouth. I'm a big tangent person.

Little did I know that earning a living at stand-up is the hardest thing you can do. But once I started doing it, I just loved it, and I realized that I was actually kinda good at it, and then that was it.

I have maintained a low profile throughout my career but have always done things in my own unique way, be it dancing or dressing up. On the dance floor, I had my own unique steps and often had to lead my choreographer.

I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.
