Does cleaning up your act suffocate creativity? Not according to Gray. “I look at my act like a painting,” he says. “And bad language and certain subjects are just uncommon colors, like chrome or fuchsia — which for some paintings are appropriate, but they’re not common. So if someone says, ‘You have to paint a painting but you can’t use chrome,’ that’s not a huge restriction.”
