I've never set out to write a funny movie or be a funny comedian as a woman. I am a woman. I don't really have a choice in the matter. My goal is just to be funny.

I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.

I like comedy as a group sport.

I like being a funny lady. I think theres nothing sexier than a funny lady.

To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.

Lord knows I had what you could call many fashion Don'ts in my day.

I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I’m African American but that doesn’t include the other half of me.
