I've talked to a lot of other women in the field of comedy and none of us feel like being a woman has been a barrier to success in our lives. I can't claim to feel like I've been under some man's thumb in comedy. I've sort of always done my own thing for better or worse, and have been lucky enough to be able to perform ever since. So I'm not surprised by all the articles, but I don't know if it's necessarily true. It's not like we haven't been around.

I don't feel intimidated by any of the people I'm talking to or the situations I find myself in. I just try to make my nana proud.

Last year people won more than one billion dollars playing poker. And casinos made twenty-seven billion just by being around those people.

You have to be willing to ask questions that almost no one else would ask.

It's fun to be surrounded by people that you love.

I want to get a gold star. And I know that there are places that I need to go in order to get the story right. I'd rather do it right than have to do it twice.
