You have to have a very holler-y sensibility. So they [the audience] know there's something worth listening to.

I don't know why it's anyone's business! People do what they need to do. I did it, and it was nowhere near as traumatic as being raped. I was so numb for so long that sex work for me was not a big deal.

I am a big Ellen fan. I have been one for quite a long time now. I used to do the local news talk shows with her in San Francisco, when we were both still kids.

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.

People are really terrified of me. I don't know why, I'm very nice, but people are very intimidated by me.

Comedy is quite a difficult place for queers and for women.

I think it is really sad that when people lose their homes they kind of lose their minds too.
