Boy, does that give you street cred for years after, if you tell people you were on 'The Larry Sanders Show!'
I do not enjoy when people don't like me.
I've seen other comics, with great pleasure, watching their own specials, and I don't know how or why they do it.
I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact, they lost interest pretty quick. I think I got lucky, briefly, in the '90s, and it just so happened that those movies were the opportunities that came my way. Then it just kind of stopped.
You just need an opportunity and then you yourself have to do a good job, and then you hope that people go, 'Oh yeah, I forgot about her.'
When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off. The right-wing media is trying to marginalize the peace movement.
I would say just in general, in life, I'm more willing to be animated as a person, and so obviously onstage as well.
I'm a walker. I enjoy walking, which I think psychologically expresses my feelings of wanting liberation without exerting myself too much.
I would prefer to be well-liked in any and all situations.
It's been hard in entertainment as a 45-year-old woman to find jobs. They get fewer and far between if you're older, unless you're one of the few lucky ones who work constantly, like Meryl Streep.
I remember the old Times Square from when I was younger, and there was a seedy thrill to it. Some of that is gone, which I have a little bit of nostalgia for.
I say at this point, for different reasons, Bush and Hussein are both very threatening to world peace and to deny that is to be incredibly naive.
I don't understand why, in entertainment, the hours are as long as they are. It seems like everything takes forever, and no one can tell you why exactly.
For my stand-up, I always have my notebook with me and if something strikes me, I'll write it down.
I mostly get takeout, I have to admit - I don't know if that's something to be ashamed of. I'm not much of a cook.
I am not a person that is particularly tethered to fashion, which I think is obvious to anyone who's seen me.
I guess intractable right-wing ideologues are my mortal enemy.
I actually was class clown, but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person.
You can't have cinema by committee if you're trying to do it well.
Let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing Democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up.
