Bill Burr says people told him not to get married and have kids because it would hurt his comedy: “In comedy there’s this big thing, you know, ‘don’t get happy!’ You get happy, and you’re not going to be funny. And it’s the exact opposite. It opens you up. You have access to all of these emotions now that you can add to your act.”
