"I like to be creative and I'm lucky that I have a couple of different outlets, and I'm lucky that I get to use them"
About this Quote
The key phrase is “a couple of different outlets.” That’s not airy self-help language; it’s an industry term in disguise. For performers, outlets mean leverage. Comedy, acting, writing, producing, podcasting, stand-up, social media: these aren’t just hobbies, they’re insurance policies against typecasting, dry spells, and the fickleness of gatekeepers. Kennedy’s career - bouncing between mainstream studio visibility and more scrappy, personality-driven work - makes the subtext legible. He’s describing diversification without saying the word, because “diversification” sounds like a hedge fund, not a creative life.
“I get to use them” is the real tell. It implies permission, opportunity, timing - all the stuff that separates wanting to create from being able to do it publicly. The intent isn’t to sound profound; it’s to normalize a working artist’s realism: you stay afloat by finding multiple microphones, multiple stages, multiple versions of yourself that can still pay rent.
