As a comedian, I am obligated to tell you the truth, my truth. To share with you my beliefs, my perspective. And I think that we forget sometimes that that's the oath that comics take, that we will go up and share everything - the irreverent, the scary.

I'm completely ecstatic when a woman has own back story and brings something to the table and has a real strong kind of independence.

I have new ideas every day, and I always want to take on new challenges.

When people refer to 'Back in the Day,' it was a Wednesday. Just a little fun fact for you.

New Moon' was such a serious, depressing movie that people felt we had lost a little humor of the books.

I feel, for the most part, especially in comedy, you make your own work, and maybe that's true across the board.

While the subject matter of my novels could not be further removed from the stuff I used to trot out at the Comedy Store, the delivery of the material employs many of the same techniques.

Comedy's really about not being afraid to look terrible, look ugly, look silly, make fun of yourself. And that's something that women are just not socialized to do. But more women are doing it, and more women have examples of women doing it brilliantly.
