About This Quote
The revelation that personal truth can be the foundation of comedy, that outrageousness can be cleansing and healthy. The comedian is not interested in shocking or shocking people. He/she is interested in being true to himself/herself. The comic may sound outrageous, but he is actually being true to his life experiences. If you are someone who tells the truth about yourself, then there is nothing shocking about that. It may even be healing to others.
