“People always come up to me and say that my smoking is bothering them... Well, it's killing me!”

“People ask me if they can send me material, and some people give or send it to me unsolicited, but I rarely buy jokes.”

“I want to be more myself. Sometimes it takes awhile to find your voice.”

“I'm a writer. I write checks. Mostly fiction.”

“I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there, she's had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control.”
