I Was Brought Up To

Sometimes You're Just Interviewing Someone And You're Thinking The Entire Time, How Can I Get Through This Really Quickly? Because I Know This Isn't Gonna Make It. This Person Is Either Too Long-winded Or Deathly Boring, Or They Don't Have The Point Of View That Supports What You're Trying To Do In The Piece. Or Often People Misrepresent Themselves On The Phone - What They're Willing To Say To You Then, They're Not Willing To Say In Person.

Last Year People Won More Than One Billion Dollars Playing Poker. And Casinos Made Twenty-seven Billion Just By Being Around Those People.

I Don't Think I'm Very Much Like The Person I Am On The Show. I'm Certainly Not As Ambitious; No, That's Not True, I'm Kind Of Ambitious. In A Nice Way. But There's A Part Of Me. A Lot Of Me. There's A Lot Of What I Think Is Funny.

I've Talked To A Lot Of Other Women In The Field Of Comedy And None Of Us Feel Like Being A Woman Has Been A Barrier To Success In Our Lives. I Can't Claim To Feel Like I've Been Under Some Man's Thumb In Comedy. I've Sort Of Always Done My Own Thing For Better Or Worse, And Have Been Lucky Enough To Be Able To Perform Ever Since. So I'm Not Surprised By All The Articles, But I Don't Know If It's Necessarily True. It's Not Like We Haven't Been Around.

I Continue To Be Very Shy. I Think A Lot Of Actors And Performers Are Really Weird, Shy People Working It Out Onstage. I Don't Know Why That Is.
