I liked comedy, but didn't know it was something you could do for a living. I actually wanted to be an attorney.

I love it when I come across a word I don't know. And I would never treat my audience like they weren't smart enough to come along with me.

Real success and accomplishment, at whatever it is you are passionate about, requires real work. Real sacrifice. Real disappointment. Real failure. And it requires the ability to scrape your sorry ass up off the floor, stumble to your feet, wipe the rivulets of watery drool from your face, and do it again, like an obstinate toddler running against the wall with his head in a bucket.

Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don't think so.

When I get old and slow down I want to look behind me and see all the fire and the wreckage and no stone left unturned.

A belief in feminism is a belief in personal freedom - the freedom to live a life free of fear of violence, to select a fulfilling career and be compensated fairly, to choose when to start a family, to marry whom you love. I want everyone, regardless of gender, to live a life free of restriction or fear, able to pursue their own personal brand of happiness and fulfillment.

I like the company of guys. I have a lot of good girlfriends that I really love, but you know, most of my close friends are men.
