I would love to get married, first of all, from my children's perspective. People don't think of children when they think of gay marriage, but I do have children, and for them to see their family validated as other families are validated and protected by our government, yes.
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.
I try to win the love and approval of strangers, since it didn't work with my family.
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.
We never talked to each other in my family. We communicated by putting Ann Landers articles on the refrigerator.
I started taking all these cooking classes. I learned a lot in them, but you think you're going to retain it, and you don't. Under the pressure, it's hard to retain everything.
I've never been on one of these shows where you have to make alliances and be a team player.
I worked at Military Media, an advertising agency for military-base newspapers. Don't ask, I won't tell.
If I wasn't true to myself, I couldn't live with myself.
If I was married to a man, and I had the same life situation that I have, it's the perfect recipe for a sitcom.
Growing up in New Jersey, bat mitzvas were all about the elegant parties.
I have decided now that my mother should be the GPS woman, don't you think? That would be fantastic: 'Make a left in 11 miles. Get over now - I want you to be prepared. Turn right on Elm Street, I want to see if Myrna Rosenblatt is still alive. Make your second left by the Dairy Queen. Don't go in, they're anti-Semitic.'
I didn't want to be known as a gay comic, but as a comic who happens to be gay.
My two sons are the biggest pigs - always dirty, sweaty, burping and farting.
