When I got a part in 'All American Girl,' in 1994, I remember thinking, 'Now I have a series, I'm not going to need to do standup,' but every night I'd go out afterward and get onstage somewhere.
Over the years, things got so bad between my mother and I, we stopped talking to each other and started communicating by putting Ann Landers articles on the refrigerator.
As scary as it was being raised by one Jewish mother, I have to feel for my kids because they have two Jewish mothers.
Some people use stand-up to get something else in their careers, but it's truly the art form of stand-up I love.
The more life experience you have, the more comedy you can write.
People always think you have a lot of money when they see you on TV.
Joan Rivers was a role model to comics everywhere, but especially to women. She got the first laugh and the last laugh.
Remember the phrase - 'Act your age, not your shoe size?' That didn't apply to me, as they were the same until the age of 12 when my feet stopped growing.
My Shabbat dinner is not to be reckoned with.
My partner and I had our first son in 1996, and the office became the baby's room. Our second son was born in 2001, and the office became the kids' room.
My mother loves it when I talk about her. Half the time, I think she says things that she knows will go straight into the act.
My mother is a tall woman - as is everyone in my family. At her prime, she stood 5 feet 9 inches, which is quite unusual for a woman born in 1922.
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.
I love standup, but not the grind of traveling and dealing with club owners.
