I'm a comedian, not a politician.

I don't burn any calories trying to be masculine; I just happen to be from that world.

I am not a good cue card reader.

My mom was on welfare and the occasional food stamp, but I have never participated in any of those governmental programs, even the ones that kind of work like education, scholarships and whatever, and I managed to do just fine.
