It seems to be a common denominator with a lot of comics, this low self-esteem thing.

So many comics have such low self-esteem.

When you go to standup, there seems to be a common denominator of some form of need or want for validation from the audience that maybe you were lacking as a kid.

I've suffered from low self-esteem.

The common denominator is a love of music.

Every major life decision I made came from my pain, guilt and shame...even down to the man I chose for a husband.
