guitar people comedian
I really wanted to, but I just didn't understand how people became comedians. I kind of thought it was something you were born into. And so I wanted to be a veterinarian or an architect. I wanted to be in a band, and for some reason I could understand how you could be in a band because I had guitars and all my friends played music. Comedy was a secret want, but it wasn't anything I pursued.
graduation thinking moments
When anything huge happens to me, I always think, this isn't my moment, this is a moment.
dark thinking puppets
I'm always going to do whatever I think is funniest. If something's dark, I'll do it. If it's a sock puppet, if it's a stool, I'll do it.
coffee paper cigarette
When I couldn't get ahold of cigarettes, I'd roll coffee grounds into typing paper and smoke that and then vomit.
girl mother country
It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn't like Willie Nelson, and she obviously loved him. Now I do too, I'm so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop.

I am just at tragedy right now.
wrinkles hair age
My age makes all my wrinkles and gray hair make sense.
unlucky persons
I'm the luckiest unlucky person.
order bird documentaries
I love devastating movies, documentaries and hummingbirds (yes, in that order).
coffee making-money babysitting
I worked at restaurants and coffee shops and babysitting and just whatever I could do to make money.
guitar years nine
I was really into music. I started playing guitar also when I was nine. I wanted to be in the Beatles, even though John Lennon died the year I got a guitar and the Beatles broke up before I was born.
almost best doctors family great health lined people perfectly savings support work
It's almost embarrassing how much support I have. I mean, I always tell people I feel like I'm perfectly set up to have cancer. I have great health insurance, I have a savings account. I have work lined up. I have friends and family. I have the best doctors I can get.
air bother eating gets nutrients playing second skinny stop telling
I didn't like to stop playing for a second to bother with eating or going to the bathroom. I was a really skinny kid, and I remember my mother always telling people, 'I don't know how she's alive. I think she gets all of her nutrients from air pollution.'
huge loved paula richard
As a kid, I loved Paula Poundstone and Richard Pryor. But my mother was a huge influence on my comedy.
