My mom always worked, and I certainly don't want to look back and think, 'Well, I don't have kids, but I'm glad I did that sitcom.'
My mom's brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13. He was quite a character, but he also worked at the electrical plant, so he was this complicated guy with a big laugh who would wear a trucker hat and do impressions. He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world.
I love the area I grew up in, which is right outside D.C., in Alexandria, Virginia.
I love the idea of someone getting knocked down repeatedly, but they still believe in love.
I'm the girl that writes feverishly in my tiny trailer on set.
I want to see a ton more comedy for women.
Once I made a boyfriend dress up as Woody Allen from 'Annie Hall.'
If you're going to be part of a nationally televised show that airs live and do sketches that haven't even been brainstormed a week earlier, you really can't be afraid to fail.
Instead of going into politics, I decided to go into comedy, which is the second most daunting career path for a woman.
I didn't have the greatest ride on 'SNL,' but I always felt support from gay fans, which made me feel accepted within a place I didn't feel totally accepted.
I'm getting into all sorts of L.A. things. I go to bikram yoga, I went to an astrologer recently... I'm accepting L.A. for who she is. She's a dark temptress.
The down-side of these huge-budget movies is that so many people have a hand in them, sometimes they come out a little more vanilla.
The comedian just wants to get a laugh.
You can't always tell if someone's gay over Twitter, but when he's talking to you about 'Real Housewives,' it's probably OK to assume.
