I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does.

I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.

Breaking is when someone starts to laugh in the middle of a scene, which is so fun to watch.

I'm so critical of my own work that it's difficult for me to disassociate myself and watch it as an audience.

I try to read the audience, see what they're in the mood for.

I have to satisfy my audience.

What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer.

It's interesting to watch myself with an audience; I'm trying hard to learn from it.
