The logic was, there weren't too many female comedians, so I thought I might as well try a field that had fewer competitors than the field I was in, which was acting, singing and dancing.

You are always trying to please people before you get to the public whenever you do anything that requires a corporate body to sanction it.

Stand-up is my favorite thing I've ever done. There's so much independence.
