It feels like being a woman now gives you a slight advantage.

When you wrap up your self-worth with your talent, and suddenly you might not be the most talented, that's really scary. And I think that fear is in part why I turned to comedy because I had no expectations of being a comedian. It was exciting to get good at something where I wasn't afraid of not being the best.

I didn't have a sense of how to dress. I still don't really, but, like, back then, I truly had no sense of how to dress because I wanted to be a tomboy - I thought I was a tomboy, but secretly wanted to be girly, but didn't know the first thing about making myself girly. So I ended up like wearing just like sweatpants to school with, like, long T-shirts that I got on family vacations. And it was just weird.

There is so much more to me than my parts and what I wear, what my clothes are.

That quality is what makes women great collaborators; we understand it's a team effort. Even if it comes from society telling us to be polite.

Now women in comedy is a trendy topic, and people are hungering for women's voices in a way that they haven't before.

I think I have learned to really get out of the mathematical side of myself that looks at story and story structure and go with, "Okay, well, what would people do in real life?"
