I love strong women, not only in life but in craft.

You take away all the other luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special gift: happiness.

I would probably be a teacher if I weren't a comedian.

My whole life, I've been telling jokes.

It's fun to play people who are flawed.
