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.'
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.
I like being able to donate my comedy to charity. I'm not a billionaire, and I can't write checks.
I love the vulgar. I kind of have the humor of a 17-year-old boy.
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.
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.
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.
There is nothing - nothing - like writing a great joke and having that joke kill onstage.
There is no reason to be ashamed of who you are.
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.
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.
