I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.

Like all women, I've had a pretty awful time in many ways, but it's always possible to either make a joke or find someone else.

I'm happy to say that I'm a lesbian in the world. I know there are people who don't want to be called women comedians, but I think it gives a path to the fact that we live in extremely patriarchal times.

It was not easy to get to where I am. My challenge is to learn to deal with the jokes that are common among men that I heard and continue to hear sometimes among men.

Women liked me because I made them laugh.

Relationship humour gets the most laughs. If I'm able to get the women laughing, men will have to laugh along because they would be scared to death.

Everybody wants to say females aren't as funny as men. That's not true. You just don't see as many because it takes a lot to do this occupation.

I'm not a stand-up comedian by any means, but I do think it's tougher for a woman to go to that territory because it does make people go, 'Aww,' instead of laughing.

Three of my novels and a good number of my short stories are told from the point of view of men. I was brought up in a house of women.
