Quote:"Doing stand-up was a slow ascent to the point of implosion. It just got so big that it was unmanageable. I didn't want to slide back down, so I just stopped. I walked away. In movies, you can have that feeling if you don't have a hit for two or three films. Then you start to feel really low -- and unloved."
