“I'm nearly see-through. Like a jellyfish.”
“I have little time for sincerity.”
“How are people still working with Terry Richardson?”
“I'm a single mother. It's silly to turn down work.”
“I don't know that I'd be a comedian if I stayed in Canada.”
“If I'm in the position where I get to hire someone, where I get to decide who joins me on tour, then I am mindful about that, and I try to suggest women that I know who I think deserve more exposure.”
“Question everything.”
“I didn't really realise that I was going to have more obstacles because I was a woman. It was never something that I thought about.”
“Skiing is ridiculous.”
“We don't have 'posh' in Canada. It's just not a thing that exists.”
“You think Trump cares if you leave? He wants power, not prosperity.”
“I love Little Mix, and I always have.”

“Part of me has always wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe or any Fifties Hollywood starlet. On screen, they seemed so sexy and simple and looked after. In real life, I'm none of those things. But I'd rather be fierce and complicated.”

“I talk funny 'cause I come from Canada.”
“I was born with the confidence of an 89-year-old man. So it's strange when people ask, 'What's it like being a female comedian?' It never occurred to me that I'd be limited as a woman - that I couldn't be a scientist, a doctor, or anything I wanted.”
