I'm just a person trapped inside a woman's body.

I love my parents and they're wonderful people, but they were strict, and I still look for ways to get even. When I got my own apartment for the very first time and they came to stay with me for the weekend, I made them stay in separate bedrooms.

Most people love animals, and most people love to laugh. Combining the two makes both resonate deeper.

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.'

Real comedy can't be learned; it comes from a need for justice. The best who stand up, stand up for something.

I'd much rather see Richard Pryor or Jackie Mason in a theater than in a club.

When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping.
