When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.

I grew up in a time when women didn't really do comedy. You had to be homely, overweight, an old maid, all that. You had to play a stereotype, because very attractive women were not supposed to be funny - because it's powerful; it's a threat.

Instead of working for the survival of the fittest, we should be working for the survival of the wittiest - then we can all die laughing.
