Don't drag my best friend, TV, into this.

Start writing. Write your own stuff because no one’s going to write anything for you. Perform only with people you get along with, because life is too short. Write about what you know. Find your distinctive voice. Don’t be so adaptable to what your boyfriend thinks is funny; remember that you’re rock solid. Make yourself laugh. If you’re funny, it doesn’t matter what you look like.
