Same thing happened.

I was at some comedy club and I just was outside crying back

back behind the comedy club, just crying it out, trying to get it out of my system so I can go on stage and perform because I still have to work.

I still have bills that need to be paid.

Other people are sitting in the audience, you know, that's stage four cancer and sitting on dialysis, you know, um,

you know, coming out to see you perform.

And you have a responsibility.

Much is given, much is required.

You have to make sacrifices.

And you just can't sit in the house.

You got to continue to keep moving and keep working and stuff because that's going to help you heal.

It's not going to solve it, but it's going to help you.

Going to the radio station Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday,

And that Friday really helped me out a lot.

It really, really, really helped me out a lot.

You know, I had a lot to do.

I had a lot of responsibility.

I had to make sure my other children were straight.

I had to make sure my mother was straight.

And I had to push through it.
