beauty comedy drama dramas interested less movies seeing stressful television tend terms together total towards
In terms of television and movies, I've been really interested in seeing the partnership of comedy and beauty and heart. I think they can go together really well and really thoughtfully. But, I'm a total one-hour drama addict. I think when you're a comedian, you tend towards dramas because that's the less stressful thing to watch.
real velocity comedy
Everyone's got their own velocity, and there's no real time frame with comedy.
moving mixing comedy
There are so many great comedies, right now. I like how comedies are really mixing. They're not just one thing. It can be very moving and dramatic, and yet hilarious.

The first time I did stand-up was the summer I was 17.

You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.

I'll tell you why we make fun of midgets: We're not afraid of them.
comedy offensive
That's not to say that I don't find anything offensive.
talking comedy my-own
Comedy is about talking about my own experience, and I'm a woman, and that's my experience, and just because it isn't yours doesn't invalidate it.
comedy truth-is
The truth is, I've denied it for years, but I love deconstructing comedy.
night comedy saturday
By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.
thinking racist comedy
Well, I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny, even if it's harsh or racist.
funny humor comedy
I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.
musical comedy window
I first did stand-up when I was 17, and then I passed out fliers for a comedy club (in New York City) and I got onstage whenever I could. And musical theater went out the window as soon as I started doing stand-up.

You got it, doll, I was curious to see which Courtney Love was going to show up: the smeared-lipstick crazy coke whore or the violent smeared-lipstick crazy coke whore.
