I am an undisputed gangster. To me, that means playing by my own rules.

I have huge admiration for Taylor Swift. She's tall, talented, young, thin, and beautiful. More importantly, she seems focused, generous, vulnerable, and kind.
The Kardashian family have earned their place as an American dynasty.
Our attention spans have been reduced by the immediate gratification provided by smartphones and social media.
I know a lot about systemic lupus erythematosus because I have it, too. I was diagnosed through the NHS when I first moved to England in 2008 following months of serious illness.
When you're little, every experience writes on the canvas of who you are.
I was a product of the society that said women are for decoration, and I do think girls should be able to do whatever they want.
My dad's Irish, so I was visiting Ireland a lot as a kid, so it's not totally foreign to me.
Stand-up comedy is not a man's job. It's an alpha job: To be the only person in a room with a microphone who's allowed to talk.
Jeremy Corbyn confuses the public because he looks like a librarian and enjoys baking bread.
I was really lucky to have been raised in this really powerful matriarchy where my dad was around, but I was with my mom and my grandma most of the time. They were heavy influences on me. My mother has a career in technology; my grandma sold real estate.
I was born with the confidence of an 89-year-old man. So it's strange when people ask, 'What's it like being a female comedian?' It never occurred to me that I'd be limited as a woman - that I couldn't be a scientist, a doctor, or anything I wanted.
When I think about women of color and their place politically in the world and culture... they've had two layers of just garbage to overcome. To me, a black woman is a woman-woman.
I'm nearly see-through. Like a jellyfish.
I really loved making my mom laugh, and I knew that she thought that I was funny. It was really valuable, in my home growing up, to be able to have a chat and participate in a conversation and be funny. Whatever I could do to make my mom laugh could either get me out of trouble or just get me more attention or get me respect in the house.
I highly recommend reading the book 'Confessions Of A Video Vixen.'
Many of us are quite stupid.
Why would you watch an Oscar-nominated film unless you're mad enough to purposely experience feelings? Bleh. I'm not interested in catching those.
I was certainly not a class clown; I confused and angered a lot of people with my sense of humor.
Growing up in Canada, I dated a few ice hockey players.
Racism is what acquitted O. J. Simpson.
I love Britain. I'm an Irish citizen, but I was born in Canada, and I'm a British comedian, really. My entire career has been over here.
I talk funny 'cause I come from Canada.
I feel like I'm always on the right side of wrong and trying to shout out for the underdog.
I'm not a Rachel Dolezal. I don't fake tan; I don't have the cornrows, I don't misappropriate. I just want to be Beyonce.
I'm actually thrilled with the woman I'm turning out to be.
Part of me has always wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe or any Fifties Hollywood starlet. On screen, they seemed so sexy and simple and looked after. In real life, I'm none of those things. But I'd rather be fierce and complicated.
When you stand out in a small town or at work,or in your peer group, whatever it is, it feels really awful. Certainly, when you're growing up, you want to be normal. You just want to fit in. Then you realize that maybe fitting in is, in some respects, quite ordinary. I think it's good to put a positive spin on being slightly unique.
Isolated incidents have lateral, lasting implications.
I guess I talk about her because I'm interested; I'm listening. Taylor Swift's words are so valuable to so many young people, not just her #GirlSquad.
I've decided that I'm completely rock n' roll.
You'll never make a success of yourself when you're doing an impersonation of somebody else.
When you're really famous, there's very little authenticity in people, so you prefer the company of children.
I have a really different touring life to most comedians because I go home every night to do the school run in the morning. So I'm not in hotels or living it up.
I'm from that generation where there aren't that many pictures of me as a baby.
I don't worry about whether or not people like me.
Christmas coming means one thing for comedians: office party gigs!
It's not my place to tell anyone what kind of feminist she should be.
You think Trump cares if you leave? He wants power, not prosperity.
Regressing back to an infant state is nothing to be proud of. Rich Americans don't drive themselves, don't cook, don't do their own nails/hair/make-up, don't shop, and I suppose all they've got in common with rich British people is that they don't raise their own kids, either.
I think it's better, if people aren't getting on, that they should divorce.
I'm not interested in younger men for the same reason most women aren't interested in younger men; I don't have time to make an extra packed lunch every morning. Please. I'm busy enough already.
I love Lena Dunham. I love, love, love her.
I love Little Mix, and I always have.
My life is so much better with lupus because I know that stress and too much junk food will literally put me in hospital.
Anything that I'm passionate about and surprises me usually ends up turning into a joke simply because I have questions about it and I'm curious and I want to talk about it.
I have little time for sincerity.
Question everything.
If I've got a confidence problem, it's that my self-esteem is entirely too high.
If I ever move back to Canada, it'll be because I'm terminally ill.
