Looking back, I remember my family laughing a lot. We were never the kind of people that dwelled on hard times. My family laughs when things are tough. Growing up like that, I got used to making jokes about things that were difficult. So when I started doing stand-up, that's what I went towards.

My goal has always been to just kind of show how my family, we might be a different culture, but we're completely like everybody else.

That's what makes a good show. It doesn't target one group. It tells a story everyone gets.

My stand-up has a lot of performance in it, and I loved doing it so much that, after years, I put the idea of having a show on the back burner.

As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.

It's equally as important to me to be a good friend and a good sister and a good daughter. I'm very close with my family and friends.

To me, there are four F's in a good tax system: it ought to be flatter, fairer, finite and family-friendly.

The only thing I care about is my family.
