I remember when I first started playing tennis, it was always my sister dressing me. She wanted me to look good. And then it really became a routine for me. It doesn’t consume too much of my day, but it’s something I always pay conscious attention to.
In music, you ain’t really got to be able to sing. In comedy, you may be cute, you may be able to add a little extra to your routine, but if you’re not funny, no one’s really rocking with you – and if you’re a black woman, you better be hilarious. As usual, we always have to do the most.
That’s been my routine for years and years… Up early before everybody else, before I get connected, before I get bugged, before I have obligations. Get the writing done first, then be the person I want to be in other ways after that.

As far as routine goes, one of the things we talk about all the time is that if you have a routine that’s great.

It’s incredibly liberating to spend an hour talking to someone and not caring about what you sound like. It’s about understanding myself. Sometimes I’ll speak to my therapist for an hour a day. It’s become part of my routine.
I travel often, so my routine is always getting scrambled. But on a standard sort of day, I get up at 6, pack lunches, hustle the kids off to school, then brew a pot of coffee and head downstairs to the dungeon, as I call it: my cobwebby office in the basement.
When you’re a choreographer and you put so much into a routine that’s emotionally driven, those are like my ideas and my little babies that I have here and then I put them out there and they’re there to be judged and looked at. When it’s all over, it’s just such a relief.
I love BioTherm and my Clarins moisturizer. I also use Eau Precieuse, which means ‘precious water.’ It’s a toner. Everyone calls it a ‘granny product,’ because it’s so old, and no one uses it anymore. But it has always been a part of my routine, so I always have to use it.

Changing a habit or routine doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a little bit of time and may take easing into the change to make it work for you. Waking up earlier is no exception.
I do films which get me out of my comedian routine so that I don’t get bored being a stand-up comedian. And with films, it’s here today, gone tomorrow. So stand-up comedy is here to stay for me.

These days I travel so much it’s hard to get into a routine. When I’m on the road, I tend to use hotel gyms. When I’m home in L.A., I like to hike and hit the surf. All in all, I try to keep a balanced diet and exercise routine, which has stood me in good stead to date.
It’s all choreographed; it’s a routine. So I told everyone I really wanted to try fighting in action films. I had no stunt experience, but I had the dance background, and I was very agile and coordinated. And the best thing about being a newcomer to acting is you can afford to try new things.
My work out routine is always changing. It should never stay the same for long periods of time.

Before every game, I have this 30-second routine where I’ll pretend like I’m doing some stupid stretch, but what I am really doing is just closing my eyes and taking in the moment, imagining every arena and every city I’ve been in, smelling all the smells, seeing all the fans.
I grew up around a lot of the major leaguers, guys like David Wright, Pedro Martinez, Jose Reyes, and I think that’s what really helped me. You see the routine they get, the humility they have.

You miss the routine. That’s the biggest thing. That’s probably the biggest thing that put me into a hole, that you don’t have a routine, you don’t get up and work out and then eat and then go to the rink and practice an all those things in a set schedule.

I don’t care if the audience is 600 Saul Bellows; I’m going to knock them dead with a comedy routine. I’m out there as a missionary for literature because, if people laugh and enjoy themselves, they might actually do something as bizarre as reading the book.
