That's the nature of comedy - you always want to be improving and growing and changing with what's happening in the world. That's when comedy is most effective.
My parents never really had that much money, so I kind of live in the same world that they do.
Over half the world menstruates at one time or another, but you'd never know it. Isn't that strange?
One place that I really feel comfortable is being a comedienne. I'm very socially inept. There's so many things that I can not do in life, and this is, like, the one thing that I have mastery over. It's my world. And anybody who's coming to the show, it's like they're coming because they know that this is my world.
When people think the world of you, be careful with them.
Privacy and security are those things you give up when you show the world what makes you extraordinary.
My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sexever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.
Grow up and let anyone try to contend with the adult you.
It's very hard for a woman in comedy. It's hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians.
It is tragic that people who are incarcerated are unable to vote. They are probably the most important voices to listen to because they can tell us what we need to change.
You don't need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there.
I didn't mean to be a role model. I just speak my truth. I guess speaking from your heart really creates a huge impact, and if I can encourage people to do that, then I would love to be a role model. If I could encourage people to use their voices loudly, then that's my reward.
This show is a lot funnier and more outrageous. There are lots more jokes.
