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.

I certainly wish Gov. Palin no harm. I'd just like her to explain to me how she can hold such outrageous views...and then go back to Alaska.

When you're constantly looking for things from other people, you're not looking within yourself.

There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.

You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.

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

For most of my relationships, I would have liaisons, and I would feel guilty.
