Comedy's really about not being afraid to look terrible, look ugly, look silly, make fun of yourself. And that's something that women are just not socialized to do. But more women are doing it, and more women have examples of women doing it brilliantly.

Women should be happy with their bodies. Not being afraid of yourself is very empowering.

I've said this before, and I'm sure there are people who disagree, but I feel like one of the reasons there aren't a lot more women in stand-up - and there are many more now; it's not parity, but it's getting there - is that women are not socialized to look stupid or silly. They're socialized to be pretty and precious.

All women are the same, really: They are strong, but they are afraid of their own strength.

Don't be afraid to look silly.

Whipping your hair means not being afraid to be yourself.
