“Being pretty was always a very big thing growing up.”

“The more you work in this business as a comedian, the closer you get to just being yourself onstage, on camera, the more well received you are.”

“I think people are afraid of the concept of open relationships. Like, 'I will not accept this.' They don't have to! No one is telling them to. But it might work for other people.”

“My boyfriend and I have finally learned how to embrace confrontation as something that will only help us as a couple.”

“I've talked about my relationship without consulting my boyfriend about whether or not he wants that talked about, and I've also taken a story that has happened with us and, for comedic purposes, exaggerated it or changed it in some way that made him look not great.”

“People are just so insensitive because they're ignorant; they don't understand, so they're scared of what they're ignorant of.”

“I never feel guilty or anything after a podcast; I feel better.”

“Jimmy Fallon's strengths are that he's fun, and he's good at impressions, and he's musically inclined. And my strength is that I'm a joke writer, but I also have no filter, and I think that that's not a talent per se, but it's just a thing about myself that I have found that people like about what I do.”

“I don't feel the same pressure to be perfect up there that I did in the beginning.”

“I think I deal with my anger toward my relationship or about my relationship or about my friendships or my family - I deal with it on stage in a passive-aggressive way, and that can be very harmful if it gets back to them, which it always does.”

“As far as how I approach the humor, I think the best comedy is going to happen when I'm myself and act organically to a news item or situation.”

“I've been doing stand-up for a few years, and I have a handful of fans just from stuff I've done, like 'Last Comic Standing.' And as a fan of stand-ups myself ... like, when I first discovered Sarah Silverman, I wanted to know everything about her life.”

“I am a woman, so I never want to hide that or be like, 'I'm one of the boys,' because I'm not. I am aware of our audience. We always aim for the right combo of not hitting people over head but still getting our message across.”

“I was lucky enough to find stand-up really early in life. And I'm so grateful that I did, because the second I found it, I was like, 'I know what I want to do'.”
