When you walk out onstage in front of 65,000 people, it can bring you to tears.

Playing in front of an audience was just such a turn-on for me, and you have 200 people in the audience and it's like doing live theater. And filming something that goes to millions of people several weeks later, it's an interesting dynamic.

This world is filled with five billion people with five billion different ways of looking at things.

One of my comics is read by more people - around 70,000 - than will see my entire run at Manhattan Theater Club. That puts things in perspective.

You look in the mirror everyday and you see the same thing. As an entertainer, you wanna see something new.

Each audience is different.

The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.

I was making projections about 'Humans of New York,' back when I had zero followers, that made all my friends and family roll their eyes. I'd throw out these huge numbers: 'One day, a million people are gonna be looking at this. Trust me.' And even those wild, wild numbers I was throwing out have just been smashed. So, it's a good feeling.

But I really felt that, something about the lights going down, and the sense of community. I saw this movie at one festival, and there were 1700 people.
