There were very few women comics when I started out doing stand-up. But I always saw that as a great advantage.
From Carol Leifer
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.'
I cried when I turned 34 for no other reason than 34 sounded old to me at the time.
I've seen too many comics who got their own shows and were undone because they worked for an executive producer who didn't understand their comedy or their sensibility.
As a writer, the worst thing you can do is work in an environment of fear of rejection.
I suddenly had this really mad desire to have an affair with a woman. I was divorced. I was childless. I figured there's got to be one more way to really tick off my mom.
All my other relationships with men, there was so much maneuvering and strategic decisions and stuff.
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 the king of the joke-tellers. I was so impressed as a child watching him, holding people in rapt attention.
My stand-up act is very clean.
