I love hard punch lines, and I like anything that has a strong point of view.

For me to be able to punch above my weight creatively, to actually take a stand for what I was doing, I had to take on everything. I had to be the person who says, 'I wrote it. I directed it.'

If you have the right voice and the right delivery, you're cocky enough, and you pound down on the punch line, you can say anything and make people laugh maybe three times before they realize you're not telling jokes.

I put a lot of fire in my punches.

I'm a showgirl. After 20 years in show business, I've learned to roll with the punches.

The comedian can put the punchline out there, but it's the audience that receives it - and has to get it.

Hell, I ain't paid to make good lines sound good. I'm paid to make bad lines sound good.

I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.
