I became a comedian because I didn't want to be bullied anymore. Onstage I was safe.

I can't drag myself away from 'Final Cut Pro.' It is a digital video editing system. I am obsessed with it, but I am always away from home, and I can't use it.

I thought I was so ugly for so long, and I wasted so much of my life on this dumb notion.

I think I appeal to people who are living in the margins because of their identity and who need to feel freedom somewhere.

The stuff I do and say onstage I can do easily. As a performer, that comes easily. But being social offstage, it's not easy for me.

I'm a survivor. But I'm also victim, too. Surviving has the connotation that you've been through it, you lived through it and that's wonderful - but a victim is what I was. "Survivor" is the more healing way to look at it.

I'm lucky that I have good genetics. Like you said, it just gets better as I get older.
