Forum Overview :: Laurence Fishburne's Dance Dance Revolution :: you're a Cable who doesn't know he's a Cable

[quote name="Mysterio"]I'm just kidding. This is Louis C.K. here, by the way, and I just want to say, I think you're a wise and hilarious guy! Not to be egotistical, but you've followed my advice (and I think it's served you well) when I said "You can be as offensive, as unfunny, as preachy as you want to be, and get away with it--as long as you do it in a way that's <i>funny</i>!" And actually you're doing a really good job of following my friend Chris Rock's advice, too, I think he put it this way: "What's important, when you're performing for an audience, isn't what <i>they</i> think of you. It isn't whether they laugh at your punchlines, or whether your stories hold their interest. So when you're up there doin' your thing and it's all just falling flat, people are booing, whatever--you just need to remember, you ARE a success, because you're trying, and it seems to you like you might be a success. So you are. And think of it this way, even if there were nobody ever in <i>history</i> who would like what you're saying--you know, nevermind, who cares that those people don't like your act. The right people will like your act." He sort of clears his throat at that point and looks uncomfortable in a comical way, it's really good. (But it's the literal truth, what he says.) - yours in Zen,   Louis C.K.[/quote]
