Q: What's the first joke you ever wrote?

Q: What is the source of your sense of humor?
A: I think it's just the way my brain works. And we can blame that on my parents.

Q: In school, were you the class clown or the quiet nerd?
A: I was the angry girl who sat in the library and wore black.

Q: Is it better to be feared or loved on your way up the comedy ladder?

Q: Your stardom: a karmic inevitability or old fashioned luck?
A: Whatever it is, I know it's something bigger than me.
