When I came out to L. A., I got a part in an episode of 'Star Trek: Voyager,' and I hired an acting coach.

I don't compromise. I only do the stuff I want to do.

I first did stand-up when I was 17, and then I passed out fliers for a comedy club (in New York City) and I got onstage whenever I could. And musical theater went out the window as soon as I started doing stand-up.

The audience works as such a mob. They either all laugh or all don't laugh, and, you know, changes from audience to audience.

If you quit being cunty, the whole world will stop being against you.

People say, like, "I love when you smile because part of your mouth goes up," then I never organically smile again.

I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.
