I'm not sure when exactly I knew I was funny, but I always knew I was different. I never had an 'edit' button and would say whatever came into my head. Most of the time, what came out of my mouth was the very thing everyone else was thinking - but too polite or afraid to verbalize.
I like being able to donate my comedy to charity. I'm not a billionaire, and I can't write checks.
Joan Rivers was a role model to comics everywhere, but especially to women. She got the first laugh and the last laugh.
I have decided now that my mother should be the GPS woman, don't you think? That would be fantastic: 'Make a left in 11 miles. Get over now - I want you to be prepared. Turn right on Elm Street, I want to see if Myrna Rosenblatt is still alive. Make your second left by the Dairy Queen. Don't go in, they're anti-Semitic.'
I love standup, but not the grind of traveling and dealing with club owners.
I love the vulgar. I kind of have the humor of a 17-year-old boy.
I realize as I get older that stand-up is a huge part of who I am. I think I'll do it for the rest of my life.
I do believe that it's something that we don't talk about, but when there are clearly defined gender roles, it is much simpler. Because you don't have to think, which people apparently don't like to do.
I've never been on one of these shows where you have to make alliances and be a team player.
People always think you have a lot of money when they see you on TV.
The more life experience you have, the more comedy you can write.
I try to win the love and approval of strangers, since it didn't work with my family.
Comedy is all about having a point of view, and it's also about power.
There is no reason to be ashamed of who you are.
