So many comics have such low self-esteem.

It seems to be a common denominator with a lot of comics, this low self-esteem thing.

I've suffered from low self-esteem.

I suffer from low self-esteem. I had horrible self-esteem growing up. You really have to save yourself because the critic within you will eat you up. It's not the outside world - it's your interior life, that critic within you, that you have to silence.

I've been getting in trouble my whole life and I really don't care what anybody thinks of what I do on stage as a comic.

I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.

I don't have a strong sense of self-worth unless I'm doing something.

People just expect you to show up, be a cartoon character of yourself, take your money and go home. But don't screw up to the point where you're gonna be out of the picture.

If you don't know your worth, if you don't know your value, if you don't know how fantabulous you are - it's going to be hard for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self is beauty to me.

People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.
