I think it is a bit harder for women starting in comedy.
case dressed gay looked looking men party quite
We had this party in New York, and there were a lot of gay men there dressed up as the characters. I showed up just looking like myself, but it was a real case of shame. They looked so fantastic. We could never quite live up to it.

I think people imagine that your fame somehow sort of equates with how much you get paid.

I write for women because it's the only way I can use what I've experienced. It's good that people like what I write, but I don't want to go down the feminist path.
I came to the Kardashians a bit late, and I'm still just gob-smacked. Who are these people?
