Jerry Seinfeld, on Gold Minds with Kevin Hart, when asked if there are any techniques that have helped him achieve more than less successful comedians:
“No. I am just completely obsessed. That’s what the audience wants. They pay for that. I don’t want to see someone who’s kind of into it.” Have you ever had the experience, Jerry asks, where you look at something and go, ‘Wow, whoever made that—they were INTO it!’? “That’s what I care about. That’s all I care about. I don’t care about traits or techniques, I don’t care what you do or how you do it—I just want to see people and talk to people and be around people who are INTO it.”
