thinking talking comedian
Male comics are always coming up to me and they're like 'Hey Natasha. Don't you think you're a little attractive to be a comedian?' and I'm like 'Don't you think you're a little ugly to be talking to me?'
thinking people sick
I do think people are definitely sick of the Kardashians.
thinking interesting becoming
The chasm between rich and poor is becoming larger, and I think it's interesting terrain to talk about and expose.
funny humor thinking
I think how tan a person is, is directly proportionate to how dumb they are.
being-yourself thinking talking
Often when you are starting out in comedy, you will find that people will laugh at the things you didn't think were funny. It's important to pay attention also to what people are laughing at when you are just talking in regular conversation. Often that is when you are truly being yourself.
funny great lawyers notes people practices producers standards whatever work
What's great about stand-up is that you can say whatever you want and go around the country, and sometimes the world, and work on it and see how people react. You don't need Standards & Practices or notes from lawyers or producers to tell you what's funny.
bar low raise seems tiny
My comedy isn't about being attractive - it's about how the bar of dumb seems so low right now, and I desperately want to raise the bar of dumb just a tiny bit.
con fell love moved
When I was 23, I moved to Australia to be with this 43-year-old con artist I fell in love with.
art comedians coming men suits talking
Coming from the Midwest, I didn't know about stand-up as an art. I just thought stand-up comedians were old men in suits talking about their wives.
whenever
You can always tell an actor by the bored look in their eye whenever someone else is talking.
five pants wore
I don't think I ever wore pants on 'Reno 911!' and I was on it about five times.
I have friends who say, 'You just can't understand what it's like to be a mother until you're a mother.'
future men produced shows successful women written
If you look at NBC, two of their most successful shows - '30 Rock' and 'Parks And Rec' - are written by women, produced by women, and I think that's the future. Women are the new men.
comedy lucky seen stage
I was very lucky when I started doing comedy because I hadn't seen much stand-up. I just got up on stage and did it without thinking.
