As a woman, I have access to hit women in a way that men might not be able to hit them with jokes. I don't mean physically hit. But you know, because I'm a woman, I can say things about women because I know what it's like to be a woman, if that makes any sense.

You know how hard it's been to write material? Because to do stand-up comedy, it takes time for the material to develop.
