I don't really like saying "the gays"... I'm not sure why. I suppose I say "the Jews." but I don't say "the blacks." I guess because I'm a Jew for all intents and purposes and to group people together of which I am not one in such a casual way feels disrespectful.

That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.

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

Comedy is about talking about my own experience, and I'm a woman, and that's my experience, and just because it isn't yours doesn't invalidate it.

Relations between black and white would be greatly improved if we were more accepting of our fears and our feelings and more vocal about it.

I dress normal because I want people to treat me regular. And their brains explode. It's really fun.

I just don't let that mentality be a part of my world.
