I think a lot of people mistake my confidence on stage for cockiness in real life, and that's actually farthest from the truth.

Growing up, if I had been given any advice - bad or good - I probably wouldn't have been able to act on it regardless. I wasn't shy, but I'd get nervous. I got a little more confident later in high school when I realized I could get girls to pay attention to me by making them laugh.
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
When Frank the Pug is singing I Will Survive, the only reason it's funny is that Will is in that shot trying not to get angry. A shot of a dog singing I Will Survive on its own will not get a laugh.
You should laugh everywhere you can find even the slightest glimmer of humour.
