By laughing, it helps take our power back.

When you go out for drinks, tell people to bring in a news story that made them say "Oh my god." Talk about it.

I had self-doubt about whether my story was interesting to people. I didn't want to write something that was anecdotal. It was important to me that people would get something out of my book. I want people to read it and say, "Now I don't feel so alone," or "I'm going to remember that next time I'm being an asshole."

Commit a little bit more to the world outside of your own life. Get people talking.

Opportunities present themselves to me. That's how my whole life has been pretty much. I've been lucky.

I've always considered myself a feminist, I always considered myself somebody who is a reproductive rights activist, and I've spent the past 25 years of my life speaking truth to power. And using humor to do that.

I feel like the world has just become a polyester suit that's smoldering, melting, and at some point we have to figure out how to extinguish it.
