People get really turned off by feminism. ”

I really am a chick from Long Island who's just learning along with everyone. ”

I was always like that, at 5 years old, just demanding equality. I thought it could all be fixed if you called attention to it. ”

I want people to live to their full potential, not to hold themselves back because of insecurities, and especially not women. I see too much of that. ”

I love being in my own skin, and I hope other women start feeling better about themselves and waste less energy being ashamed of their bodies. ”

I can't hide my feelings. I'm efficient. I've always been that way. ”

I am not a racist. ”

I've always had my wrist slapped for being myself. ”

Being introverted, it doesn't mean necessarily being shy or being afraid of public speaking; it just means that it's hard for me to interact with people for too long. ”

I think standup is pretty good for an introvert because you are performing, but, I mean, it's on your own terms. There are so many people in the room, but it's a one-sided conversation. And you actually don't have to interact - unless you want to. ”
