All my other relationships with men, there was so much maneuvering and strategic decisions and stuff.

I cried when I turned 34 for no other reason than 34 sounded old to me at the time.

Honestly, so much of my book is about the best things in my life have happened since I'm 40.

I always say to women, 'Take advantage of the fact that you're in the minority, don't see it as a disadvantage. You're that much more unique when there's fewer of you.'

There were very few women comics when I started out doing stand-up. But I always saw that as a great advantage.

My father was a really funny guy. He lived a good long life. And he was the reason I wanted to be funny and become a comedian and a comedy writer, so to say that he's somewhat of a mythic figure in my life would be an understatement.
