I use my work as catharsis. That's often the best thing that we can do, is to allow ourselves to rage because it's so rare that we get to. We're told to forgive - I don't want to! I don't want to forgive my abuser! I don't care to and I don't like that assumption that forgiveness makes me a better person. It's not authentic to me, my feelings and what I need. But everyone has their own way.

I'm a huge fan of the people and things that are considered the epitomes of tastelessness - things like drag and raunchy comedy.

There are definitely racial problems in this country [the USA]. Comedy is a way we can figure out how to solve it, and how to solve it without making people really angry.

When you feel powerful, you are willing to stand up for your rights, you are willing to stand up for what you believe in, you're more willing to stand up and be counted.

My life is anything but typical.

It's good to be able to laugh at yourself and the problems you face in life. Sense of humor can save you.

I'd like to put across the notion that bad taste is actually good for you.
