I really, really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques, and my dad is very mid-century. They're not together anymore, so in the middle of growing up, I, all of the sudden, had two houses that were very different but really well done in each of their own ways.

I love comedy, but I was just obsessed with 'SNL' growing up.

Female-driven shows have to be every single thing and are constantly criticized in a way that male-driven shows are not.

Why does 'writer' have no gender, but 'actor' has a gender? What is that?

I was certainly not a class clown; I confused and angered a lot of people with my sense of humor.

People ask me if I have comedy writers, and I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'

The bigger the audience, the better with comedy.

Egyptian comedy has a very, very old tradition. Our theater and our movies are just, like, amazing. And Egypt is kind of like the Hollywood of the Middle East. I mean, we had cinema maybe decades before the other Arab countries ever got independence.
