For me, comedy is a day-to-day report on the human condition. It's what's happening right now. I get maybe 20 minutes of my act straight from the newspaper.

San Francisco is really fun and liberal, and it's my kind of politics. It's like being Jewish in front of Jewish people.

I have always put my own money into Tails of Joy. For years, every time a dog walked by, my husband would say, 'There goes our beach house.'

I think about death. I don't want to die with clothes in the cleaners.

Have you noticed that if you leave the laundry in the hamper long enough, it's ready to wear again?

I read books that say if you want to keep sex hot you tell a person what you want. How do you tell 'em you want somebody else?

I guess in general, people tend to not eat the cute animals.
