Harry Shearer Quotes
Because I don't do stand-up, radio has always been my equivalent, a place to stay in connection with the public and force myself to write every week and come up with new characters. Plus it's a medium that – having grown up with it and putting myself to sleep with a radio under my pillow as a kid – I love. No matter what picture you want to create in the listener's mind, a few minutes of work gets it done.
