Comedy is free therapy. And if it’s done well, the audience and the comic take turns being the doctor as well as the patient.
Loose Women’ is fantastic. It’s great working with a group of strong, feisty females, who are also your mates. It’s like therapy.
When I was in theater school, we did these relationship exercises – you would play my sister, and I’d give you all this information about my sister, and then we’d get up and perform this scene, and you’d pretend to react as my sister. It was like therapy!
I started making art with art therapy. It’s what I know how to do. I got a lot of criticism for that when I was in school. But I think it works for me.

What I go through in my life, I tend to put it in my music. I always say the things that hurt me the most and that matter to me the most. I can’t hold it in, man. It’s like therapy.

Writing has never been like therapy for me, but blogging comes a little closer – I can smack-talk freely and frequently, and this is good for me.

I can honestly say, after talking about my mom passing away, I got the biggest weight off of my chest. Comedy is my therapy. That’s how I deal with my problems, my personal battles. I talk about it. I give it to my fans. When they laugh at it, it’s a release, for lack of a better word.
If I didn’t have my profession, I think I would be sitting in a nuthouse. But I have been unceasingly at work, and this has been very healthy for me. So I had no need for therapy.
I must say, I am a 10,000-times better director because I am in therapy. I’m serious. I can understand more the actors. I can manipulate them more easily.

Working out makes me feel strong and energized every time. It’s my therapy for my mind and my body.
With ‘Location’ and all the other songs around it, my music turned into therapy for others. And that’s something I really love and am blown away by.
