There was never a moment when I was like, 'I'm going to enter the public conversation on the importance of female nudity.'

I have a huge impact with young girls. Young women. That's my demographic.

I once waited on a group of 10 people, and one guy collected the money from the check and tipped me $20 on $600. I told him in front of everyone, 'Jews like you give Jews like me a bad name.' That was my last waitressing job.

I like the minute when I can get off the stage and go home, and I know I've done a good job.

I always felt that my way into comedy would be through my writing rather than my acting.

I think humor is important for all of us, and a great comedian is a great treasure.

I think for me, the best comedy comes from when something feels real and genuine, so even though Miranda is this wacky character, there is a real vulnerability to her that we finally get to show in 'Haters Back Off,' and I think that's what makes this comedy rich and more fulfilling, at least for me.

I want my audience to be my friends - that is when they will get the best comedy. If they see me as a performer, they won't get the best show.
