party gay night
When you're a comic, it's like being born gay. It's what you want to do every night when your other friends are out at night going to parties.
stupid people jokes
It's really stupid to defend your own jokes. That is for other people to do if they choose to.
attitude gay issues
I don't get this shitty attitude that only gays should care about gay issues and only women should care about women's issues.
clever heart political
I do love poop. I can't help it. The heart wants what it wants. I enjoy being clever and pithy and political, but nothing's going to get me like dumb stuff.
people laughing want
You want to make people laugh and by virtue of that please them, but when you're instructed to make people laugh and please them, you're too resentful to do it.
song new-york guy
I remember my first standup act when I was seventeen; I did a really lame song about being flat chested. I was doing it in New York, and I remember Kevin Brennan, the guy I lost my virginity to, was like "That song doesn't make sense, you have tits."
mother halloween school
I was Minnie Mouse for Halloween, every year when I was little. Then, I had the Cinderella nightgown, when I was really little, that I begged my mother to wear to school. I was also Snow White a lot.
sexy people world
I feel so confident and awesome and sexy when I'm with people who are older than me, and I've always been surrounded by people who are older than me. But to be vital in comedy, you have to exist in a world that's dominated by young people.
sometimes enough responsible
Sometimes loving each other isn't enough. You have to be responsible for your own happiness. You can't stay in a relationship because you're afraid of the unknown.
thinking mirrors kind
I don't think there is a woman in her 40s who doesn't, kind of, examine herself in the mirror. ...
needs littles sometimes
Sometimes a joke that doesn't work just needs a breath or a little word or the tiniest little change to be fixed.
jesus kids people
I didn't feel so different until maybe, like, around third grade. Kids started blaming me for my people killing Jesus.
thinking childhood darkness
I don't think comedy comes from hotbeds of doing shtick. I think it usually comes from some kind of childhood humiliation or darkness.
laughing audience knows
The audience works as such a mob. They either all laugh or all don't laugh, and, you know, changes from audience to audience.
