I didn't want to be known as a gay comic, but as a comic who happens to be gay.
Of course I love cooking Eastern European food because I'm a Jew, but I also love making roast chicken. I love making Hungarian goulash. There are a lot of egg noodles in my cooking.
My desire for my own sitcom began as a little girl - I spent hours lying on my belly on the shag carpeting getting lost in the world of the '70s sitcom. All I wanted to do was run away to the Brady house, The Partridge Family bus; even the project on 'Good Times' seemed better than Clark, NJ.
My two sons are the biggest pigs - always dirty, sweaty, burping and farting.
Many comics stay in one city and develop their acts for that particular audience.
I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I live in a 950-square-foot apartment with one bathroom and two sons.
I love being a Givenik Ambassador. Not only does it give me a platform to discuss my favorite charities, but I get to talk about my other favorite topic - 'The Judy Show!'
As scary as it was being raised by one Jewish mother, I have to feel for my kids because they have two Jewish mothers.
I try to win the love and approval of strangers, since it didn't work with my family.
When you see another tall woman on the street, you nod, sort of like Orthodox Jews.
Women risked their lives for the right to vote. When I hear people say, 'Oh, I'm not gonna vote,' I just wanna tear their heart out.
When I was a kid, I'd read about celebrities who didn't want to talk to their fans after a show. I told myself, 'That's terrible, and I would never do that.'
I love standup, but not the grind of traveling and dealing with club owners.
I realize as I get older that stand-up is a huge part of who I am. I think I'll do it for the rest of my life.
