I don't categorize myself. I don't think I'm perceived as a female act by my audience. My fans include just as many men as women.

I know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to someone who will leave them alone.

My family was totally non-religious. There was no question we were Jewish, but we were not observant.

When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.

When I was growing up in comedy, there were maybe 10 comics in the whole country. Everyone had a day job. You worked free for years in little clubs, then you got your big break and became a star.

Incredibly, almost every hotel I ever played in Vegas was blown up shortly afterward: The Dunes, The Sands, The Landmark, The Aladdin, The Frontier, The Hacienda, The Stardust - all were imploded.

I love being down at Occupy Wall Street. The sincerity, the youth involvement, the desire for better, is palpable and moving. There is true caring, sharing, and refreshingly naïve hope.
