I met a bipolar bear. He laughed, cried, then wanted a threesome.
I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.
I’d really love to make something that doesn’t involve my stupid face.
Comedy should be a source of positivity. I don’t want to bully people, and I don’t want people to come to my show to feel terrible about something. I’m actually very open to having a conversation about what I should or shouldn’t say.
I just like to write and then perform.
I thought I wanted to be a physicist in high school until I learned that there was much more math than philosophy in it. I assumed I would just sit around all day and think.

You argue and you bicker and you fight... Atheists and Catholics, Jews and Hindus argue day and night... over what they think is true... but no one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you.
Being self-aware about doing something you hate doesn’t save you from the act.
When life gives you lemons, you probably just found lemons.
