I eat not because I want to, not because I have to overcome anything, not to prove myself to anyone, but because it's there. I eat because that's what people do.

Ned Vizzini

Your only guidepost is your own instinct and judicious editing. In my stand-up act I learned that in the first 10 minutes I could say anything and it would get a laugh. Then I'd better deliver.

Many years in front of an audience, I would hope, give me a sense of what works.

Audrey Flack

I don't really look at other people's moves because, when I'm on the field, I'm not going to remember them.
