>> I think that we're all born with gifts and this is mine.
I wouldn't be very good at landscaping or the law or medicine,
and I think once you find your gift, then it doesn't become work
and when it doesn't become work it's a pleasurable thing to do.
I've been doing it for 40 years.
I think particularly what I like most about what it is that I do specifically is that I'm live.
So there is only one chance to get it right I like the excitement of walking the tight rope
of self-editing myself and knowing that I only have that one chance.
And when I blow it I blow it; I live with the consequences, but when you're able
to pull it off in its live in its spontaneous, it can be very, very rewarding.
I think the preparation and the amount of preparation it takes.
I often say that with everything I have on my sheet and in my head, if I use 5 to 10 percent
of it in a night, it's a good night.
I've used a lot of information.
And the other 85, 90, 95 percent gets stored either for later or gets ripped
up because it's no longer useful.
So I would say not only the preparation and all that it takes to do two and a half hours of TV
but specifically the stuff that never gets used or never said.
