“Having a second kid shortly after the first one that's very young, it does feel like you're putting something very heavy on top of an already cracked foundation because you're trying to figure out who you are.”
“For me having kids now, it's important to live my truth. I want to be an example for them and I don't want to live in the fear of anyone else.”
“I learned that you can be powerful and funny at the same time, and you don't have to be liked. I think that's a big thing sometimes with stand-up, especially if you're the sassy one or the nice one.”
“I look at Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I'm just like, they are having fuunnn. I look at Maya Rudolph and Natasha Lyonne, they are having fun. And that's what happens when you work with people that you're a fan of, that you're friends with. It can only be good.”
“It's great when you have something to work towards.”
“I mean, we are all someone's child. It's just like, can we just be nice? We got to be kind, man. We just got to be kind to each other.”
“Well, first of all, I love Ilana Glazer. As a friend and as a comedian, I love her brand of humor. I love how real it is.”
“If I had stayed in Jersey City or Florida, I would definitely be in an unhappy marriage in an apartment with beige carpet and white lines and big nights out at the Cheesecake Factory, no shade. I'm glad I wanted bigger and better for myself.”
“To my husband, I'm not just a helicopter mom. I'm a drone-on-top-of-a-snowplow mom. To me, my husband is too casual and relaxed. Toddler time is not a Jimmy Buffett concert!”
“It's important to be educated and have conversations about derogatory words and colorism. I don't ever want my kids to feel bad for being who they are.”
“I don't want to be that parent yelling all the time.”
“My number one most essential back-to-school item, honestly, is detergent!”
“In general, Dutch children are taught not to depend too much on adults; adults are taught to allow children to solve their own problems.”
“Twins make people happy.”
“For anyone to even suggest that people that you see on TV is an overnight success, it's like, well, when people can make things look easy, you know that it is very difficult.”
“I spent six weeks in England, and the drugstores out there are different. I'm like, Okay, your government has money.”
“The Dutch people in general are pretty chill about parenting, as well as - everything. I would be more chill, too, if I had universal health care and the only road rage I experienced was someone ringing their bicycle bell twice.”
“I've learned to love my body, inside and out, quietly.”
“I always really loved fashion, but I never really was given a vocabulary of, like, what to do and how to do it because nothing was ever available.”
“I'm half Haitian, half Jamaican.”
