For me, comedy and drama are all the same thing. How the comedy ever even started in my life was that moments got uncomfortable and I felt uncertain of what the outcome was going to be, so I found a way to deflect what I was feeling, or what everyone else was feeling, by creating laughter.

I had a grandmother who would always encourage me to learn about theater and film.

An unresolved past erodes beauty in the present.

The Universe responds to specificity.

I'm not really volunteering for no family films. I really like the sweet spot of being able to be edgy and controversial.

If you are courageous enough to be still, you are a step closer to becoming empowered.

I'm one of those people for whom success is one thing, but significance is another. If I can have both, I'm living the dream.
