My first commercial was an Old Navy commercial where I stood in line in front of a club, and Fran Drescher was in it.
I was in NYC during 9/11; it happened on a Tuesday, I was on stage Thursday. It was a small crowd, but it took about 10 days and comedy clubs were packed.
The first night you walk down to a comedy club, at least for me, I had my voice, and then I went on stage and I lost it.
I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.
I saw that my image was changing or fading. One of the reasons for taking a break from clubs was to be missed-not forgotten.
The likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry at Chelsea, English players with proper status at a club, they're going to be like the dodo bird. Extinct.
I don't belong to any country clubs. I don't have this big circle of friends. Where I make my friends is where I work.

Cut your manuscript ruthlessly but never throw anything away: it's amazing how often a discarded scene or description, which wouldn't fit in one place, will work perfectly later.
As a result of World War II, European artists migrated to America, enlarging the scene and diminishing Paris as the center. America was beginning its dominance of the art world with the emergence of the Abstract Expressionists.
Whereas there's a wealth of galleries in Australia, everyone's got a gallery in Australia or wants your work. Because the art scene is smaller in Indonesia, there's not so much competition.
