When you're collaborating with somebody who's got a lot of stuff they haven't worked out yet, you're working out their vision as well.

Onstage, I'm still wearing my fabulous, sheer dresses because I'm not that big.

I try to avoid people's eyes because I don't like to get that intimate with just anybody. i don't need the responsibility.

I knew I wanted to be a performer and do comedy at 5 years old. My dad's wife, Marlene Rosenbaum, was boiling water and she goes, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I said, "A comedian." And she laughed and laughed because she thought that was the cutest, funniest thing.
