I often thought when I would go to a comedy cellar, I often felt like I'm not laughing at the same things. But I am back. I'm going. I'm very excited. Because I've understood recently I've had such joy singing with people. And now I want to go and laugh with people. I want to have those kinds of experiences.

And to me, that's my answer to the person who doesn't have time to schmooze in the laundromat. It's okay. I get it. Everybody has a different reality. But every person who used to have a very busy life and got up with the sun and went to sleep with the animals had that time in their life. But it was regulated primarily through religion. Now we have to find secular versions.

Because it's much harder to have discipline alone and to know when to stop. You know, now it's like on the one hand, you have the freedom to decide what you want to eat, when you want to eat, when you want to sleep, how much you want to sleep, when to exercise.

But on the other hand, it's a lot harder to have to create all these disciplines by yourself when you have collectively synchronized those things. If all the stores are closed on a certain day, then that's it. You know, these are the three times a day or the five times a day that you need to pray. These are the times that you need to have sex because it's mandated by your religion.

You know, because it's not left to do I feel like it. It's I should. I have to. It's part of what's expected of me. And there is something very important about this. Of course, in that system, if you don't want to go, you don't have the freedom not to go. It's not this or that. But the integration of these two poles is really important in the equilibrium of a society.
