“I'm not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It's really not my place.”

“There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.”

“There's two sorts of fear: one you embrace and one you should listen to and turn the other way.”

“Sometimes people ask me, 'You do stand-up?' I try explaining what I do, and I don't think they really get it. So: 'Yeah, I do stand-up.' I wish there was one word to express what I do - that way, I don't sound arrogant. Whenever I say I'm a performer, people think I'm a performance artist: 'She paints herself white and pretends to be a flower.'”

“I was cocky and arrogant when I was younger. I thought that if I delivered a good performance, and put my best foot forward, that would be enough to get people's attention. So in my naivety, I cut my legs off at the knees, because I didn't realize that oftentimes it doesn't matter about the performance... it's the media that creates stars.”
