Q: How much self-censorship do you have to practice in your act, given a broad range of audiences?
I think every person should exercise some self-censorship and adapt to sensitivities, but at the same time, I aim to speak honestly within those boundaries, because authenticity resonates with the audience even when there is constraint.
