The kids didn't call me Amy Schumer; they called me Amy Jewmer. One summer, I'll never forget this, all the kids took turns throwing handfuls of pennies at me. I know, I was like, 'Excuse me - this is awesome!

My background is in theater. I was a theater major in college.

I call myself a comic.But I started as an actress. I did plays since I was 5.

I've always been really dark, and drawn to darker humor. Nothing has been forced, and I don't say anything for shock value.

I don't try to be feminist. I just am. It's innately inside me. I have no interest in trying to be the perfect feminist, but I do believe feminists are in good hands with me.

I have an excuse, actually, why I've been drinking so much. I haven't said this out loud yet - this is exciting - I'm drinking for two. Thank you, wow. I mean, just for now. Somebody's being evicted.

I feel very open with people, and I'm good at disarming them and having conversations.
