Pretty much everywhere I go, I'm pretty much thinking I'm going to be bounced. I am still the outsider who snuck into the party. I identify with the regular person, because that is who I am.
I was raised right — I talk about people behind their backs. It's called manners.
I'm saying that she (Whitney Houston) looks great for a singer......the way Courtney Love is a singer.
I love Mariah Carey. Remember the breakdown? I loved the breakdown.
I love to work. I love doing standup.
I have to tell you, though, the sexism in late night talk is so profound.
I'm a female in comedy, so of course I want there to be more women on 'SNL', and women of color.
I'm not an artist. I tell inappropriate stories and jokes and I try to make people laugh.
I do road gigs occasionally but I don't want to go out on the road for months at a time.
I have a no-apology policy.
I don't like doing movies, period. Movies are hard. I like TV.
I am in love with Larry David.
I also love Mole, the unsung hero of reality programming.
The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can't seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it's my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
