There is no such thing as #1 in art.
Art is socialism but life is capitalism.
The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.
Where art and business intersect is a challenging hurdle for a lot of people, reconciling the fact that not everyone is going to make it in the same way. Yeah, you have to be a little selfish, probably.
I wrote on my desk wall when I was writing the film...'Art is socialism, but life is capitalism.' That's the hard thing in all of it if you expect to make a living.
