Growing up in New Jersey, bat mitzvas were all about the elegant parties.

Female comics cannot dress provocatively on stage.

I do believe that it's something that we don't talk about, but when there are clearly defined gender roles, it is much simpler. Because you don't have to think, which people apparently don't like to do.

I worked at Military Media, an advertising agency for military-base newspapers. Don't ask, I won't tell.

I loved that about her because I knew it would open the door for a lot of comedy, because I knew that the conflict would come, because not many people live like the way she does.

I was raised in a very humble environment, and I was always taught to be humble to the things that are happening in my life because they're blessings. They're blessings in every way. Whether you're able to help someone get through a tough time in their life through your music or through comedy, or whatever it is, you're just a channel.

It so fascinates me how we always laugh when somebody falls on a banana peel, how comedy and injury are often so interwoven. I've always been a sucker for that.

A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.
