When I was a boy, unconsciously, spontaneously I learned the art of telling ironic stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a little kid, I told stories.
I like discovering stories where I'm laughing and I'm learning. It's like, 'How was I never taught that in school?'
When I was a little kid, before I learned how to write, I would tell stories.
I began as a boy with artistic talent... as a visual artist... I thought that was what I'd become and in my late teens drifted into reading serious literature.
I am drawn to humorous art that is ironic.
I wrote stories as a kid just for myself. One day, some of the kids in my class found some of my stories in my bag, and I was deeply embarrassed until I realised they enjoyed reading them.
When I was little, I always used to like to tell stories cuz it was entertaining to people.
When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy.
My parents always got a kick out of my art. I was always able to make them laugh. As I got older, I remember the thrill I got when I graduated from making my classmates laugh to making adults laugh. Kind of a watershed moment.
I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.
