Im not a mom, but I think the word mother is about wisdom.
Try to have a good day today, wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever is near, if no one is near. Try to be happy, because you may not see tomorrow. There is someone this morning, who didn’t wake up, who will never see this day. Try to feel lucky that this is not you.
Comedy is quite a difficult place for queers and for women.
When I was 14, I told my mother I was going to drop out of high school and go do stand-up comedy. All she said was ‘Oh maybe it’s better if you just die,’ because it was killing her that I was doing this.
A few words about ‘trannychasing.’ I am not a trannychaser. Ok, actually I am a trannychaser. No I am not. I am a trannycatcher! Just kidding!
Over half the world menstruates at one time or another, but you’d never know it. Isn’t that strange?

My parents never really had that much money, so I kind of live in the same world that they do.
I think I appeal to people who are living in the margins because of their identity and who need to feel freedom somewhere.
Comedy was all I ever wanted.
I feel sorry for anyone that I am obsessed with. I am worse than gum in your hair, very, very close to the roots.
I have a song about how much I hate emojis and the lazy thinking of people who use them. I wish that more people had respect for the English language.
I’ve worked with incredible producers who have also taken my voice and brought it to another level. I think I have some natural abilities, but it’s the technique that I’ve been learning from the best that keeps me going. I’m really honored to do it.
Humanity is a natural foil for inhumanity, and humanity is what will ultimately keep us going when all else has failed.
Pot is an insidious drug because it can steal your life away from you, without you even being aware of it. I had a love affair with pot for ten years. Pot was my most devoted partner.
I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can’t decide what I want, and I don’t want to be stuck with something I’d grow to hate and have surgically removed.
I’m very much a stand-up comedian in my heart. That’s really what I do. Now I’m trying to incorporate all of the different elements of my work as a performer, and use it as a stand-up comedian.
