Within each experience of pain or negativity is the opportunity to challenge the perception that lies behind it, the fear that lies behind it, and choose to learn with wisdom. The fear will not vanish immediately, but it will disintegrate as you work with courage. When fear ceases to scare you, it cannot stay. When you choose to learn through wisdom, to evolve consciously, your fears surface one at a time in order for you to exorcise them with inner faith. This is how it happens. You exorcise your own demons.
As an actor, you want to keep your demons to some extent, but you also have to exorcise them so you can use them instead of them using you.

You can't escape this feeling of disintegration. The world is fragile. But you also can't let it ruin your life. I'm actually a pretty composed person. I guess people imagine I spend my life thinking about crazy, sinister things but I don't, really. It's not like I'm trying to exorcise any demons.

You have to realize, when you're a comedian, that you have to have a thick skin. And trust me, being onstage in front of people is already difficult enough. Somebody's personal attack in an email is not as hard as getting onstage.
I think Im extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like youre getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that.

It doesn't matter how you're dressed onstage or what you say in your songs: that doesn't give anybody the right to invade your personal space.

You're never gonna outwrite the movement of the white clouds and the blue sky. You're never going to.

Maybe little by little I'm fumigating.
