I think the best way to get over your body issues is to just flaunt your body at every opportunity.
I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time.
I am into belly dancing. I used to only hang with comics. Now I have friends who are dancers, and my whole house has a harem feel.
I am always writing no matter what I am doing and no matter what it is for.
My former bullies pay extra to come backstage and meet me after shows, and I pretend not to know them in front of their friends. It is the most divine pleasure to exact the revenge of the brutalized child that resides within.
If you say you're not a feminist, you're almost denying your own existence.
Being called ugly and fat and disgusting to look at from the time I could barely understand what the words meant has scarred me so deep inside that I have learned to hunt, stalk, claim, own and defend my own loveliness.
That's part of being an artist; you have to be that sensitive.
Why go through life feeling cheated? It does nothing but make you bitter.
I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.
I punished myself and avoided my reflection in mirrors and any windows. I would see myself reflected back, and I would look away, trying to pretend I didn't exist, because I hated myself so much.
I'm really bad with trolls because I have a lot of really intense friends who are not necessarily doing things so legally. If I get trolled, [my friends will send me] an email with the person's Social Security number, phone number, pictures of his family, his business, his spouse. I see this person in his totality, and I feel so bad. I shouldn't have that power.
I'm super-obsessed with 'Intervention.' I wrote a song about it.
I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways but I get down on myself too!
