I get bored with the constant probing for the cliched tears of the clown, the dark side of the comic.

It's pretty awful being told you're a racist.

I think after doing a few shows now, people are ready to put me down.

Once I got into high school, any time I had to do a talk or a speech, I just loved being up in front of an audience, it was always a character. And then I discovered that an impersonation of the teacher was a really, really good way to get a laugh, and it would also get you good marks, because the teachers were always bored and loved to be the "teacher-parody." So that became my little trick at school, and I became known for doing that.

I don't just want to upset people and shock people by saying something really outrageous.

In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.

Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
