Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.

There are so many things I'd like to do. I'd really like to be in a period piece that takes place in old New York or old Hollywood and wear those costumes and that makeup.

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 like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.

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

I think my comedic style is at once bashful and explosive. It's a little bit perverted, and a little bit ladylike and old-fashioned, which is a great mix. Sort of tangy.

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.
