It's hard to narrow down your influences in comedy.

My personal philosophy is, talk about whatever you want on a show, but it better be good. And especially if it's something that challenges folks. You don't want to be on the side of power to demean a group that is at risk. Because that's propaganda. Whenever you're on the side of power, you're not making art. Art upends power.

I get a lot of credit for having succeeded as a Latina in this world, and I am not that. I appreciate it, but I'm Italian. And that does happen a lot.

What have I stolen? Probably money as a kid.

I know more Australian people than I know New Zealand persons. I feel like there's a real gap in my education.

Everybody that you can think of that does comedy, I have met or worked with almost all of them.

Who are my influences? Everybody.
