When I would go on stage I would start to feel that the eyes that watching me weren't kind. And it took me a while to realize that those eyes were my own eyes.

Nowadays, performers who want to create their own material put it on the Internet. I never knew whether or not it would make an impression - and frankly, I didn't care that much about how it would be received.

If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.

You have to be really careful to watch out for the difference between banding together, and being grouped together by people who don't understand you.

I don't make a lot of mistakes, honestly. I'm an A-student, I'm an Ivy Leaguer. I need those things.

I am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.

I'm competitive and I have a messy purse, but otherwise, I like people to think I'm a winner.
