I was sent to sleepover camp since I was 6, and you know, it's a recipe for disaster.
-
I don't want to deconstruct what I do.
-
I don't care if you think I'm racist. I just want you to think I'm thin.
-
When I was 17, I read a profile of Carol Leifer. Since then, I wanted to be her. I still want to be her.
-
People say I'm a nice girl saying terrible things. I tend to say the opposite of what I think. You hope that the absolute power of that transcends, and reaches the audience.
-
I remember the horror story that I told myself over and over again. I'm totally alone in my body. I'm totally alone in my head and nobody will ever see through my eyes. I'm just completely alone.
-
I'm doing stuff on Kaballah and Scientology and a little bit more racial stuff, for good measure.
-
I do love poop. I can't help it. The heart wants what it wants. I enjoy being clever and pithy and political, but nothing's going to get me like dumb stuff.
-
I'm lucky because I intentionally keep my overhead low, and so I can say, "No, thank you."
-
I've never had an abortion. And I don't know if I would. But, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't fight to the death for women to make their own choices for their own human bodies.
-
We don't live in a democracy; we live in a hypocrisy.
-
In your twenties, I think you should have all of the sex that you're inclined to have, as long as you're safe about it. Use condoms and everything. Go with your instincts. This is the time to have a lot of sex and do drugs. But make sure you live through it.
-
I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.
-
I learned pretty early is I never defend my material; it's for other people to if someone is offended. It's so subjective, and if you don't find it funny, it's definitely going to be offensive.
-
I'd rather have a girl exposed to me than 25 women in prom dresses vying for a stranger.
-
I love going to weddings. And I love it when my friends get married. I'm not against marriage but it's just not for me. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't have a problem if you want a hamburger.
-
Comedy is about talking about my own experience, and I'm a woman, and that's my experience, and just because it isn't yours doesn't invalidate it.
-
Scientology is weird because it's new.
-
Traditionally, I have no right to talk about race. I'm white; I didn't grow up in an all-black neighborhood. But the license I see for myself is I'm a member of the world.
-
I like to think of myself as 'hot-larious' I'm cute, but I'm totally approachable.
-
I'm very lucky in that I still experience highs and lows. And I think those lows are important. But I am not totally paralyzed, and it keeps me from just complete state of paralysis - and emotionally and really kind of almost physically.
-
Don't tell girls they can be anything they want when they grow up. Because it would have never occurred to them that they couldn't. It's like saying, 'Hey, when you get in the shower, I'm not gonna read your diary.' 'Wait--are you gonna read my diary?' 'No! I said I'm not gonna read your diary. Go take a shower!'
-
Summer camp: the second worst camp for Jews.
-
Comics who grew up surviving their childhood by being able to be the first one to make the joke about their weight or their hairy arms - like me - whatever they're insecure about, whatever they're apologizing for, that becomes their strength.
