Judy Gold

As scary as it was being raised by one Jewish mother, I have to feel for my kids because they have two Jewish mothers.

There is nothing - nothing - like writing a great joke and having that joke kill onstage.

I'm not selfish at all.

It's fun to be someone else.

When you see another tall woman on the street, you nod, sort of like Orthodox Jews.

There is no reason to be ashamed of who you are.

Women are taught that if you want to be a lady, keep your opinions to yourself and be polite.

I'm going to be a 'Chopped' champion.

I didn't want to be known as a gay comic, but as a comic who happens to be gay.

Over the years, things got so bad between my mother and I, we stopped talking to each other and started communicating by putting Ann Landers articles on the refrigerator.

I love being a Givenik Ambassador. Not only does it give me a platform to discuss my favorite charities, but I get to talk about my other favorite topic - 'The Judy Show!'

Some people use stand-up to get something else in their careers, but it's truly the art form of stand-up I love.
