I get mad at people who talk about traumatic job interviews, about going on one and getting rejected. I get rejected all the time and not only do I get rejected, but people have no problem being really specific about why I was rejected.
I have lots of energy.
I like going back and writing fiction.
I took a gig one time for a Harley convention in Milwaukee. I was supposed to do 20 minutes to entertain Harley riders and I went up there armed with nothing but some of my musings on the early saints' lives.
I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it's a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life - then I think it's a great career.
I was on stage and I was like I will pay someone to do my time, not only will I expect NOT to be paid, but I will pay someone if I can run off stage right now. It was so bad.
I'm not a standup. I don't really have jokes. I don't have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this.
