Things don't have to come to you in your youth. It's fine for them to come to you when you get older. That's a motto in my household.

I see myself as a comedian rather than a female comedian. I happen to be a woman, but I am a comedian by trade.

I never admitted what I wanted to do for a career to anyone until I was 26. I wish I'd piped up at 18.

Pessimism is my default setting.

Like, your body has to get used to being in front of people. Like - and you have to be like - you have to be kind of a ham, you know? Like, the thing about writers is they're generally self - comedy writers - self-loathing, sort of play small. And as a, like, performer, you have to think like a comedy writer but act like a performer.

Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.

All the greatest comedians use comedy and humor to release pain and sadness, and I think that instead of wanting to live within my pain, or live within my sadness, I try to be funny and look at things with a funny view.

As long as I stay engaged with everybody else, then I'll create more comedy. It's just when I shut off and stay at home... What helps me is just to keep moving.
