american-comedian homeland signed
We signed up for Showtime, which I think put us on a Homeland Security list somewhere.
american-comedian gandhi margaret
They didn't even like Margaret Thatcher but at least there was Margaret Thatcher. There have been women, you know, Sonia Gandhi for heaven's sakes in India.
american-comedian few great hour maybe works workshop
I try something new every night. It's an hour show; if it works I maybe try it a few more times and then move that off and try something new. It's a great workshop for me.
sexy thinking laughing
I definitely want people to laugh because I don't think there's a better feeling - I think it's just so fabulous to laugh. I don't mind if people think, either. I think the brain is a very sexy organ.
laughter thinking possibility-of-change
In this political climate, people are so shut down to other ideas - I call it a hardening of the categories - that if you can get them to open up and laugh, there is a possibility of improvement, and a possibility of change. I think humor sneaks up on people, and before you know it, you're laughing at something you might not agree with.
science sheep cloning
[On cloning sheep:] Oh great, just what we need - more sheep.
gay boys use
John Paulk, the poster boy for 'ex-gays' was found in a gay bar in Washington. He said he was there to use the bathroom. But nobody thought to ask him for what.
years catholic given
I'm really happy that I was raised Catholic because it's given me years of material.
religious morning gay
I want to host a religious show. I'm sure nobody will be wanting the 11 o'clock spot on Sunday morning. I think we should really get some of our own preachers and preach that gay is good. And we'd have a great choir.
political trying coming-out
Lesbian humor isn't trying to sell anything, it doesn't have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act; if it weren't, more women would do it.
sex double-standard
What goes for sex goes double for politics.
running presidential tickets
As you can imagine I'm disappointed as anything that I was not selected to be the presidential running mate. And I find it continually appalling that it would be a radical thing to have a woman on the ticket.
cds trying records
I consider a CD or a comedy collection as a record of what I've been doing, and I try to wrap it up and start new material.
teacher kids soup
A friend of mine said, no matter what I do I always look like an English teacher. She actually said, you still look like a Campbell's Soup kid.
