Instead of going into politics, I decided to go into comedy, which is the second most daunting career path for a woman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comedy is just one of the many professions that women are taking over.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.
I've done comedy most of my career, which I love, but I wanted to expand.
The logic was, there weren't too many female comedians, so I thought I might as well try a field that had fewer competitors than the field I was in, which was acting, singing and dancing.
I see myself as a comedian rather than a female comedian. I happen to be a woman, but I am a comedian by trade.
I was trained classically, and that's something that I want to do, but I do want to say that right now it's a good market for female comedians, and I want to explore that right now. I really do want to do dramas and meatier roles, especially film.
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
My wife happens to be probably the greatest working woman in comedy. I can't think of anyone who even approaches her achievements and her abilities.
If I tried to do comedy for the rest of my career, I would not be very successful.
I've never set out to write a funny movie or be a funny comedian as a woman. I am a woman. I don't really have a choice in the matter. My goal is just to be funny.
