I feel like people are funny, and women are people, so I'm sick of the distinction.

I think comedy is funnier when it's real.

I think the whole concept that women aren't funny is dead. It's over; it's done.

I think the genetics of being Irish are that you sort of prefer when it's rainy and cloudy. It's just genetic.

Obviously I've gone out of my way in my career to not look good, so it's always nice to, every once in a while, get the opposite going.

It's easy for people to strike if they're not working on a regular basis.

I love Tig Notaro; I just think she's so awesome.

I feel like I'm the luckiest actress in the world.

I do have a lot of female friends who are stand-ups and also women who are actresses and also happen to have an act.

It was a huge thrill, to step on a pitch of a championship like the World Cup, is a sensation that... You know, passes everything in your head.

Most people have a blank slate and can start from nothing. But for me, I had to break a bad habit that I've been doing all of my life, which is freestyle hip-hop.

Too young for woe, though not for tears.
