I was raised right — I talk about people behind their backs. It's called manners.

I love to work. I love doing standup.

To give up my job as a temp and actually make a living doing comedy, it was staggering.

I grew up in Chicago and was a huge fan of 'The Second City', so when I moved to L.A., I was looking for anything that resembled that... then I started 'The Groundlings', so I went to a show and it was very much like 'Second City'. I was so impressed that that same night I went backstage and I went up to the funniest person there.

I do feel I'm kind of a magnet for crazy, and if there isn't enough crazy, I will insert myself in a situation that I feel has comedy potential.

I'll be honest, there's a part of me that does think I'm held to a different standard than my contemporaries and peers, and it's a little frustrating.

I'm a female in comedy, so of course I want there to be more women on 'SNL', and women of color.
