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.
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.
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.
