When I was little, that was one thing that I was told in a vision: I was going to have my own show when I grew up. And it's going to be funny.
Honestly, a lot of the human etiquette I learned in life I learned from, like, thank-you notes and dating Jimmy Kimmel.
I remember performing on a punk stage with no mic in the middle of a mosh pit. My act was called "How to Be a Domestic Goddess."
I don't really want to hang out with politicians. I'd rather go straight to hell, and not collect $200.
Truth is available to the ears that can hear it.
I have horrible stage fright - you know how you go through the bi-polar stage fright thing? Then you go on drugs to get over the stage fright and perform, but then you're not funny at all.
A lot of people who are actors and artists who work in Hollywood come from a background of abuse, and you can make abused people very fearful and they'll do what they're told. Hollywood definitely has a point of view that it sells.
I have great parents, and they both taught me great things, but my formative years were boundaryless.
I got, like, Diane Keaton's manager, and she was very connected; she had power. And she was like, "Your star is in tears on this comedy. Do you even notice that at all?"
I'm tired of watching as men destroy all the world. Everything used to be beautiful when women were in charge, and now I, working as the physical manifestation of the goddess Isis and the reincarnation of Cleopatra, have decided to save the world.
I'm God because I have the power to control my mind.
You can't break through Hollywood formulaic points of view. I've tried, and I think I was more successful than anybody at doing it.
There is no real third party in America. There's this one party that has two sides to it - the Democratic and Republican side. It's one party that has two heads.
I want to eat, cook, meet famous people and make fun of them.
