Stand-up comedy is still a very male-dominated world. You look at a set list and maybe there's one woman on there.

I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.

I did babysit a little bit when I was young. I prefer babysitting for babies. I always loved babies. I was not as great with kids that wanted to be entertained and that wanted to talk.

I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.

As an actor, when you're doing comedies, you're around fantastic, funny people and you hopefully have a really good time doing it.

When you look at all of the male characters on television and in film, it's not like every one of them are the people doing the right thing that you can point to as your own moral compass.

What I love about our show is that it's so nuanced and feels very real to me. I think how it explores creativity in general is very real.

I think casting a show is an art form in and of itself. We're all so different - the cast is made up partly of real stand-ups, partly of actors, and then partly of just legendary actors.

Twitter's a lot of work! That's the first thing I would say. There's so much pressure to be funny.

I think the good news for me in life is that I really trust my instincts when I come to work. Maybe less in life and in love, but in work and in comedic beats, I feel pretty confident.

There is nothing better than a laugh in life. There just isn't.

I would not anticipate the relish of any happiness, nor feel the weight of any misery, before it actually arrives.

Our job is not the harvest, our job is the seed.

Our limitation is God’s opportunity

Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?

Stand-up is an amazing art form, I think, because it's all about you having complete control of the situation, but absolutely none.

Civilization is the intelligent management of human emotions.

You can never control other people. You can only control yourself. I have definitely learned that.

Hopefully I don't annoy people too much.

We're going to make every effort to keep the Saints as Louisiana's team.

Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty crowned, Where all the ruddy family around Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale.
