When I first moved to New York, someone who thought they knew more than I did said: "You have to always look like you know where you're going when you get out of the subway."

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.

I like comedy as a group sport.

I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.

I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.

Without a doubt in sketch comedy there are fewer women than men.

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