You can't be twenty-four hours of just Bush-bashing.

You don't have to think exactly like me.

Could you do a liberal propaganda tool that would bore the bejesus out of people? No.

I didn't start talk radio until '95 in L.A. The show was very successful, and they actually tried to syndicate it nationally, but I couldn't get stations. It was like, "We don't care that she's funny and she's got great ratings. She's liberal!"

I auditioned for 'Cats' - I didn't sing but I was able to cough up a hairball.

My politics just kind of developed over time as a reaction.

I started as a stand-up comedian. I wanted to be Carol Burnett when I was growing up.
