Honestly, so much of my book is about the best things in my life have happened since I'm 40.

I'm so happy with what has happened in my life.

My father was a really funny guy. He lived a good long life. And he was the reason I wanted to be funny and become a comedian and a comedy writer, so to say that he's somewhat of a mythic figure in my life would be an understatement.

Obviously, at this age, I've lost people in my life. But with a parent, it's just different. I was very attached to my father and had this naive little-girl notion that he'd always be around. So I'm finding acceptance of my father's death is the hardest thing to accept.

My life is pretty much an open book.

My life has gotten so much better since I turned 40.
