I love the vulgar. I kind of have the humor of a 17-year-old boy.
I've done stand-up since I was 18 years old, and I absolutely love it, but I used to go onstage, and the audience was my peers. Now I go onstage, and I could be their mother.
Some people use stand-up to get something else in their careers, but it's truly the art form of stand-up I love.
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.
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!'
I try to win the love and approval of strangers, since it didn't work with my family.
I love standup, but not the grind of traveling and dealing with club owners.
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.
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.
I like being able to donate my comedy to charity. I'm not a billionaire, and I can't write checks.
In America, I've been told so many times that I look 'too Jewish' that I stopped counting.
I'm not sure when exactly I knew I was funny, but I always knew I was different. I never had an 'edit' button and would say whatever came into my head. Most of the time, what came out of my mouth was the very thing everyone else was thinking - but too polite or afraid to verbalize.
Women are taught that if you want to be a lady, keep your opinions to yourself and be polite.
We all know showbiz isn't easy, but being a comic - especially being a female comic - can be quite punishing.
