Growing up in the '80s in central New Jersey as a weird kid with a blue mohawk listening to the Sex Pistols and dressing really funky, I was bullied pretty badly. It was every single day in elementary school and kept going into middle school, too. I felt totally alone, without a single person there for me.

Growing up in New Jersey, teen clubs were your life. I'm not kidding! That was it. I was literally tied up five days a week with teen clubs; my parents would drop me off. Like, I didn't even drive.

I am a biological female. I have two children. I've been married for 16 years. I've never been a man.

Style is objective, akin to art, so it varies.

You Gotta Have Heart' is one of the most ridiculously perfect, amazing musical comedy songs ever.

The key to gallows humor is to make the joke, no matter how certain the gallows is.

With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.

I don't return anybody's calls unless it's going to mean extra money for me. And I've completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I've copped an attitude.
