“When I'm on stage, I get real happy there. Maybe that's the only time in my adult life I feel like myself.”

“The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.”

“There's something about doing stand-up that's cathartic.”

“It's not about giving back if you're successful or a celebrity or how much money you have: it's about your responsibility as an adult to help others.”

“My brother's 21 years older than me, so I grew up doing more adult things. Like listening to old music.”

“That year I went to Miss America, that was the first year I had competed in an adult pageant, if you could call it that. So it was zero to 60.”
