“Comedians, we just love picking on each other, and it just makes me feel at home.”
“I think there's just so many dogs out there that need a home and they're all sweet and they just all deserve a home.”
“I feel like there's a lot of color in Mexican art.”
“I imitate people I come across.”
“When I play powerful women like Dolly Parton and Lady Gaga and JLo, I feel their confidence.”
“I've had bags under my eyes my whole life; it's just genetics. But if it's a slower day and I have more time to do my routine, I'll put eye cream on.”
“Every impression I do learn, it's because I love them so much. They really help me feel confident and make me feel happy.”
“Alone is not a scary thing for me.”
“I do love an audience. For me, that's the ultimate. The best thing is feeling the crowd and having the same energy and laughing together.”
“Even with food and clothes, I try my best to be animal-friendly.”
“I was always really shy growing up, so to find that one thing that made me feel alive, it felt so good. I realized that I was going to be a comedian.”
“I can open up my heart and connect with people in the crowd. It's that connection, the human connection - that's the best.”
“I mumble sometimes when I have low esteem or when I need to speak up for myself.”
“The only way it works with my standup is if it comes from a personal place.”
“Some of my bits are dark, but they're all silly.”
“I love a face oil. I actually prefer them to moisturizers.”
“When I'm in a big group of a lot of amazing people, and everyone's speaking over everyone else, I think I tend to get small. I get nervous, like, 'Where do I fit? What am I supposed to do?'”
“I did my high school talent show with a few impressions, and that was when I felt it. It went so great that I realized, this is what I am supposed to be doing, at 15 years old. It was a powerful feeling - I felt like there were flames in my chest.”
“I'm very creative alone and I make myself laugh.”
“I'm a very independent girl. I have a backpack and I think I've always loved indie films. There's something real special and sweet about them.”
