You can't erase Bill Cosby's contributions. That's the conflict. He's one of the most influential comedians of all time, and 'The Cosby Show' is one of the most influential sitcoms ever. When I watched as a kid, I wanted Cliff to be my dad. Everybody did.

When things get stressful and crazy and you think to yourself, 'When will this get easier?' it won't, because that's what a career feels like.

What I am trying to do is create a space for people to explore what they want to be, as opposed to fit into a label that they have been given.

Here's the best place that people can find me: go to this website called Google, and then type my name into it. So much stuff.

When I was young, my favorite picture book was 'Fletcher and Zenobia,' written by Edward Gorey and illustrated by Victoria Chess. It's long out of print now, but its mix of macabre humor and 1960s psychedelia made it a perfect children's book for the times.

Comedy is an amazing calling. Once you get that first laugh, it's hard to turn away. Then, of course, you're hooked and you have to learn how to survive in the business.

I don't devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.

Total absence of humor renders life impossible.
