I'm really not that funny in real life. But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh.

I can't tell a joke to save my soul. It's just not my thing, though I love to listen to jokes.

We don't stop going to school when we graduate.

But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

It's also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I've been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That's why we're here, after all, to help others.

I had a good loud voice and I wasn't afraid to be goofy or zany.
