“If I'm not directing it, I need to be right in the director's ear so we can be talking about this." You do something like use the wrong music, the tone's off, and everything feels off". And I was like, "I'm not going down with this one. I wrote it, but I don't like that play." Then I thought, "Well, no one's producing my stuff, letting me star in it, and direct it at these theaters, so I'll just do them in comedy clubs."”

That's what eventually led me to L.A.” quote by Jake M. Johnson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/267/jake-m-johnson-19385_country_i-was-in-a-two-person-show-with-oliver-r_1536515.jpg)
