how did i empower myself uh when i moved to new york and um trying to get in at
the clubs
i knew i was going to get in but you know the day-to-day just seemed like uh
like impossible and you know the club owners and everything and you know some
of them were cool
and others enjoyed the fact that you were desperate and just really enjoyed
that position
of power over you and uh i would walk out of the club dejected you know i was
afraid you know am i
going to run out of money i don't have a job right now i'm doing these driving
back to massachusetts
to feature in dick dorky's rooms you know living in new york every time you
stepped outside you blew
20 bucks 30 bucks you know and um what i said was i'm tougher than you new york
is what i would say
as hokey as that sound that's what they you know the city would kick me in the
balls and then i would
just mumble that to myself you know sometimes like six times in a row until i
got that thought on my
head and i would just say and then i would just be like i'm gonna get in the
clubs i'm gonna get in
and i'm gonna make a living i'm gonna be fine i'm gonna be fine everything's
gonna be fine
and that continues throughout your life and uh you know then you get to my age
you know and i'm doing
great and everything but there's also there's always your mortality around the
corner
and how i've kind of mentally dealt with death the inevitable death is that
like um that i just
think it's gonna be a great experience you know what i mean that uh i don't
think anything bad
happens to you when you die either you just go into the ground and then that's
it
and uh then that's it you know you got to be a person on this planet as opposed
to like a mosquito you
got the best experience hopefully you did um and then that's it it's over or
you become something else and i just don't think that is bad you know i just
don't think it doesn't
make any sense that it would then just be bad like for me making it as a
comedian was like a 20 year
fucking 15 20 year process i was obviously i was not the overnight i didn't
have the hook i didn't
have any of that fucking shit and i just basically every day you know was
hacking at the tree until
it came down and um you know you just don't quit you just that's it you just
don't quit you don't give
it a negative thought and every day you just take a few steps towards it and
then one day you just wake
up and you're where you wanted to be and you're like how the did that happen
you know it's funny you
don't feel any different you know just say that to yourself i'm going to be
fine this is going to work
out and uh then that's it
