My father was the kind of guy who'd always say 'Throw out any subject and I got a joke on it.'

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.

I feel I've always got to keep my stand-up because I never want to lose it.

My kind of gay is like the late-breaking-lesbian kind of gay.

My father was a huge influence on me.

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.'
