I felt a comedy ego beginning to grow, which gave me the courage to begin tentatively looking into myself for material.

I hate Billings, Montana. They have a fashion show at Sears Roebuck
sex humorous
Better laid than never.
daughter mother littles
My daughter refuses to call me mother in public; my little grandson calls me Spongeslob Squarebottom, and nobody else ever calls me at all.
passion people matter
People are arguing whether Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" is anti-semitic. Well, whether it is or it isn't, it doesn't matter, because I've been in touch with his accounting firm, Rosencrantz, Levy and Stern, and they're screwing him out of his profits.

The psychic scars caused by believing that you are ugly leave a permanent mark on your personality.
country children thinking
I think any celebrity that adopts a child from a third world country is a fool.

my cousin Shirley, who never complains, screamed and screamed when she was having her baby. True, this was just during conception.

Having a baby can be a scream.

I wear the midi because I feel if you're going to look ugly, you may as well look this year's ugly.

And you will even run into some people who should be run into by rhinos because they actually don't want to see you get over your tragedy at all; grief is a spectator sport for them.
sorry cutting acceptance
I was absorbing a sorry truth of show business - rejection is the norm and acceptance the oddity. I was learning to cut the tops off my highs and stay with the lows where the rejections and letdowns would be shallow.
