All my other relationships with men, there was so much maneuvering and strategic decisions and stuff.

My father was the kind of guy who'd always say 'Throw out any subject and I got a joke on it,'

I've seen too many comics who got their own shows and were undone because they worked for an executive producer who didn't understand their comedy or their sensibility.

As a writer, the worst thing you can do is work in an environment of fear of rejection.

Women in the workplace - we still have big strides to make. Girlfriend of mine just got a new job. First question the new boss asked her was if she could make a good cup of coffee... Yeah, she stormed right out of that Starbucks.

There were very few women comics when I started out doing stand-up. But I always saw that as a great advantage.

My kind of gay, meeting a woman and falling in love, is a different experience because it wasn't anything about 'Oh, I've always been gay and I'm breaking the chains.
