Working for me is like a gift!
Shaving your head is so empowering. You don’t need hair to be beautiful. You are beautiful with or without. I learnt that too.
I’m quite sarcastic, and I’m funny, but not kind of funny. It’s a weird funny, and some people don’t get me, and some people do.
For some reason, I like seeing people feel emotional.
I go by my instincts. It’s whatever I feel in the scene in the moment.
I’m very outspoken. I will ask a silly question, but I really am deadly serious. I want to know the answer.
I don’t look at negative comments because my parents and family don’t let me. My big sister controls my Instagram, and my big brother controls my Twitter. I also don’t really Google myself or anything like that.
[about political pundits suggesting Trump be given a chance to be president] Now, in the broadest sense, I get that impulse: hope for the best in the face of very long odds. It’s like we’re on a plane and we just found out our pilot is a wombat.
Attending an all-girls school has its advantages, there are no inhibitions. You can walk to school with your zit cream on and your hair in rollers and nobody cares.
I don’t really like to go out very much. I’m not scandalous. I’m not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it’s like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don’t want to be that person. That’s just so embarrassing to have that written about you.
That night’s show was watched by ten million people, so I guess that director at The Second City who said the audience “didn’t want to see a sketch with two women” can go shit in his hat.
This is just to get the kids ready to play. It’s not about the score of the games. We want the boys to learn what they can from this. It helps the coaches see where we’re at and what we need to be working on.
I still like to get carried away – but passively.
After college, I knew I wanted to work in comedy, so the first thing I did was go to where the comedy was. I moved from Charlottesville to Chicago, because that’s where The Second City and Improv Olympics are. You have to go wherever you need to go to study what interests you.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and dogs are a man’s best friend. Now you know which sex has more sense.
You do not send me to Brooklyn to get a cheesecake and then I come back and you’re gone.
It’s a sport to me. I never want to get too complacent with my writing or my flow.
I think an extreme thing; I adjust it, I adjust it, I adjust it. That’s the way I get to it, but I have to push to, you know, the furthest concept possible.
I’ve always learned how to deal with my problems through my words, through my education, and through my intelligence, which I think is important and the best way to deal with an issue.
When I started, I never gave any thought whatsoever to what I would be doing when I was 70.
I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.
So many people try to grow up too fast, and it’s not fun! You should stay a kid as long as possible!
