The president of CBS handpicked me for the 'Star Search' revival, which Arsenio Hall hosted. He picked 12 comics, and I was the only female. I always look to that as inspiration.

Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.

That's the one thing I have to say to females. If you don't have a certain look, or if you look a certain way, they won't accept you.

If you think about how many headlining female comics are out there, you could say 15, maybe 20?

I am confident that, as elected officials, we can work together with religious, business and civic leaders, as well as the LGBT community, to develop policies that treat all people with dignity and respect.

No day is similar to another, but usually mail is part of my start of the day. Our company never sleeps: we have business in 180 countries, so there are no real mornings or nights.

It isn't always hard work that does the job.

I have a great, great company. I employ thousands of people. And I'm very proud of the job I did.
