New York has always been a sense of eclectic kind of freedom and expression on a lot of different levels.

I don't consider myself a comic but a performer. A comic tells bad jokes.

I'm trying to appeal to the disenfranchised everybody, not just specifically gay.

At no time do I come from a cynical point of view. I'm coming from a concerned point of view.

The most important, overriding arc of my career has been that I would never be self-deprecating.

There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.

If you want to dig, if you want to pry, do it on your time, but I'm going to be a woman of dignity.
