You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.

Also, I learned whether you are gay, bisexual, it doesn't matter, you know... because, at the end of the day, they're both gross. But mostly, I learned that elderly black women are wise beyond their years... but younger black women are prostitutes.

The good news is hopeful doesn't mean dumb. The bad news is cynical doesn't mean smart.

You have to take the chance to bomb and disappoint audiences.

I started out in clubs, and I've always liked clubs. I like theaters because people are there for the show.

I do enjoy and feel compelled to talk about things that are taboo. One, because I think I'm a troublemaker inside, if someone says, "Don't say that," it's all I want to say. And also, something I learned in therapy ... which is darkness can't exist in the light, and then that made me think of something that Mr. Rogers said, which is, "If it's mentionable, it's manageable."

I am 39 years old, and I still wake up every morning really excited I don't have to go to school.
