Coming from the Midwest, I didn't know about stand-up as an art. I just thought stand-up comedians were old men in suits talking about their wives.

The women's movement ruined a permanent vacation.

My friends who have babies can't do anything. You can't go out at night. Having a baby is like a DUI from the universe.

You can always tell an actor by the bored look in their eye whenever someone else is talking.

You try to - you want to fly on both sides of the political fence because that's where the - where the comedy is.

There's an infectiousness to comedy. It's meant to be shared and spread, so I feel like any message that you're talking about through the vehicle of comedy is going to get further than if you just straightforwardly said it.

Comedy is so collaborative. You're going to come up with better jokes with people you like joking around with. It just makes sense.

My experience - and it might be just the kind of comedy that I do, which is usually sketch comedy - is that there's a lot more texture and subplot in drama than in comedy.
