It's easier to be brave when you're not alone.

When I began doing theatre in high school I saw that I could get laughs from people but I didn't really connect that to going on and becoming a comedian. I was interested in acting and while I was at Boston College I was part of an improv group, Mother's Fleabag, which had a long history and has been known as one of the best college improvisation groups in the U.S.

I get worried for young girls sometimes; I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled.

When young girls are encouraged to explore what they find interesting, they grow up to be interesting women.

Girls, if a boy says something that isn't funny, you don't have to laugh.

Nobody looks stupid when they are having fun.

Anyone who has the kind of inventive and inspired comic sensibility to be able to do that kind of work must be pretty talented.
