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.

I don't plan to grow old gracefully. I plan to have face-lifts until my ears meet.

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.

I think comedy is drama, often. It's hard to have comedy over a period of time - commercials are one thing, but over a period of time - comedy and tragedy go hand in hand.

Kevin Hart. He's the man! I like his style. He's short, so I can relate. All the stories he tells are real. I respect that, and he's just a really funny dude - great comedy instincts. To do stand-up on a stage for an hour and tell stories and make people laugh is incredible.

The more cerebral, slightly darker comedy stuff is where I love to live.

I would like to look funny on screen, doing comedy.
