I don't want to take myself too seriously, thinking that I'm always having to be this cathartic, intense and deep person, because I certainly enjoy silliness.

I'm fascinated by caddy Buddhists popping up all over Hollywood and people that take themselves too seriously.

Even losing my mother, I wanted my mother. That's who you want instinctually when you're having a hard time.

I'm not a religious person; I'm not even, like, a spiritual person.

I want people to talk about my comedy, about cancer, about body issues, about scars, because cancer, it's a big deal, but scars are not a big deal. My skin healed. Relax, you know? That's all it is.

People ask what my influences are, and for me, it's not always obvious. One of my biggest inspirations was Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders. That's based on how she just does whatever she wants to do, and I love her attitude about everything. It bleeds over into my way of thinking and comedy.
