jobs years lucky
It's been hard in entertainment as a 45-year-old woman to find jobs. They get fewer and far between if you're older, unless you're one of the few lucky ones who work constantly, like Meryl Streep.
vacation years car
Every year my family would pile into the car for our vacation and drive 80 trillion miles just to prove we couldn't get along in any setting.
real years vegas
We got married drunk in Vegas . . . We dated for a year, and we got married at a drive-through chapel in a cab. [We thought] you have to go down to the courthouse and sign papers and stuff, so who knew? We were married, and apparently now that [Rob] is getting married for real, his lawyer dug up something.
years skins mature
Also, as I've gotten older and more mature, I've become much more comfortable in my own skin. After 25 years of doing stand-up, that's reflected onstage.
boys years giving
Boy, does that give you street cred for years after, if you tell people you were on 'The Larry Sanders Show!'
great seen
I've seen other comics, with great pleasure, watching their own specials, and I don't know how or why they do it.
comedian life people political politics word
Sometimes people say I'm a political comedian, which, actually I'm not. I'm a comedian who sometimes discusses politics, culture - again, the word 'politics' to me is just life.
came happened hollywood interest movies trying
I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact, they lost interest pretty quick. I think I got lucky, briefly, in the '90s, and it just so happened that those movies were the opportunities that came my way. Then it just kind of stopped.
I don't enjoy sparring with the audience. It devastates me.
commercial nobody starts
Nobody ever starts out to make a mediocre, commercial film. You always think it's going to be something. And then, once you're done with your shooting, you have no control. You're just done, as an actor.
peace trying
When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off. The right-wing media is trying to marginalize the peace movement.
love pleasing tempts
I love a nice cooking show. It's as aesthetically pleasing as any other thing that tempts the senses, I suppose.
cut lip
The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.
bunch certain quite racists seeing
You know, there's nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry at a speech they're not quite certain what he's saying.
