No matter how bad things got, I always knew I had stand-up comedy to fall back on and could be proud of myself for being able to do it. I thought it was really creepy. I think it s so weird to have people talk about you when you re not there. I think my ears were burning the whole month that they were shooting that. It was just so uncomfortable, but at the same time exciting, because a lot of my friends were in it.
Tabloids love stories where the funny comic goes crazy and self-destructs.
I think the tabloids were kind of clueless about me when I was going through my dark times. They would always come and see me do my stand-up act and then write stories about what I would talk about in my act. Like, I used to work at this sex boutique, and they would go to the sex boutique and take all these pictures of it and put it in their magazines. But the readers don t understand what that stuff really is. They just never really got who I was.
