I like talking about things that are taboo, because it makes them not taboo anymore.

I like trying jokes and seeing the response, and if I end up doing it in my act, it won't be 140 characters. Twitter is helpful that way to me. It's like a message in a bottle. But a lot of times I think I tweet the stuff I would like to say to teenage me.

I was raped by a doctor. Which is, you know, so bittersweet for a Jewish girl.

I think when you're 25 you're still finding yourself, and you should have the freedom of that.

I was paralyzed with fear. It was unbearable to be among other kids who were just standing around being fine. It was one of the many inconveniences of this paradox I lived with -the more people I was surrounded by, the more frighteningly alone I felt.

I've never had an abortion. And I don't know if I would. But, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't fight to the death for women to make their own choices for their own human bodies.

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