I never believe them when they say that because you really have to sort of be aware of what's going on in the news in order to get the jokes on the show.

More people need to inhabit this world.

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.

You've got to have gumption. You've got to be willing to stand up on the stage for no money for ten years.

I was brought up to question things, but I was always a really quiet and shy child.

I believe in breakfast. It's the one meal that my kids usually eat without a fuss, so that's huge. As for myself, I can't function without it, and I see it as a great way to get some healthy greens in, some coffee, and on a good day, maybe even some news of the world via the newspaper.

It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.
