Every play is rhythmic control. If you want an audience to go on a journey, it’s rhythmic control. You’re crafting when they lean in, when they push back, when they breathe, when they surrender.
Laws, like houses, lean on one another.
I have been blessed with good genes, and that’s why, irrespective of how much I eat, I still retain my lean look.
I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn’t get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.
We lean on each other when we are going through hard days. We are a family.
I think there’s a huge gap between no longer qualifying for benefits and being able to afford a life without benefits. When I went off government assistance – six months before I got the book deal – there were some months that were lean, I mean literally lean, like I lost a lot of weight. I could barely afford food.
I’m not going to get any taller, so I might as well get as strong and lean as I possibly can be.
Before Covid, the first victim of my busy schedule used to be my workout. Then, luckily, the lockdown gave me more than enough time to start a vigorous regime. I had all the time in the world to build lean muscle without going the route of fat burners or unhealthy supplements.
We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance.
Stand up comedy is this thing you get to do, so you have to treat it with respect. You can’t just be like, ‘Alright, I got my hour down, people are coming to see me now. Now, I’m going to lean on the mike stand.’ No, you gotta work even harder now. You got to top what you already did. Because they’ll find someone else.
For me, the lean times were a wonderful, beautiful time of my life, struggling for many years in regional theater all over the country for not much money.
