I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I live in a 950-square-foot apartment with one bathroom and two sons.
Unfortunately, I cook for two boys, and they don't care what it looks like on the plate, and neither do I.
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 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.
Mother humor is such a universal theme. I wrote a show called '25 Questions for a Jewish Mother.' I had people coming up to me after the show saying, 'I'm Baptist, and my mother is just like yours.'
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 two sons are the biggest pigs - always dirty, sweaty, burping and farting.
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!'
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.
Many comics stay in one city and develop their acts for that particular audience.
