Why can't all different types of women be considered beautiful? Why can't we can't we all be considered possible love interests?

Privacy and security are those things you give up when you show the world what makes you extraordinary.

I'm taking a lot of my favorite artists, different people, my favorite music and marrying that with what I do as a comic. It's very collaborative, arty, fun and cool.

The stuff I do and say onstage I can do easily. As a performer, that comes easily. But being social offstage, it's not easy for me.

I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.

Since I became a dancer, I have felt much better about myself.

My former bullies pay extra to come backstage and meet me after shows, and I pretend not to know them in front of their friends. It is the most divine pleasure to exact the revenge of the brutalized child that resides within.

The newest victims of the nation's foreclosure crisis are pets, which is extremely distressing to me.

Usually, if you smile at them and show some interest in the toy, they will give it to you. That's a straight up Democrat move!

It's important to feel beautiful; it's political to feel beautiful.

To start telling people that you're beautiful, or just feel beautiful, just start acting like you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And it really improves everything! Because your sort of psyche responds to it - like this is truthful!

I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.

To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.

I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren't able to.

In the early '90s, there was such a limited idea of what you could see on TV.

Being called ugly and fat and disgusting to look at from the time I could barely understand what the words meant has scarred me so deep inside that I have learned to hunt, stalk, claim, own and defend my own loveliness.

I am into belly dancing. I used to only hang with comics. Now I have friends who are dancers, and my whole house has a harem feel.

Korean children get a lot of fuss made over them, I guess because life was tough in the old country, and it was a big deal if you survived. There's a big party thrown when you are 100 days old, followed by another when you make it to one whole year.

I always felt like an outsider growing up. In school, I felt like I never fit in. But it didn't help when my mother, instead of buying me glue for school projects, would tell me to just use rice.

Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate.

The incognito of lower class employment is an effective cloak for any dagger one might wish to hide.

Maybe I wanted to hear it so badly that my ears betrayed my mind in order to secure my heart.

Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.

Just because you are blind and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.
