Flaws are my favourite part of people, usually.
You’re a human being—you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake.
I won’t make a bucket list because I’m so afraid that I’ll die and then people will find my bucket list and be like, ‘Oh, she didn’t get to do that….’ There is stuff that I’d like to do or experience but nothing that would crush me if it didn’t happen.

Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops.
I think there are plenty of soulmates out there. That’s what I choose to believe.
I’ve read a lot of different versions of myself – and all of them are true because it’s all opinion, and they’re as accurate as it can ever be. But I don’t think that I’ve been deft at hiding parts of my personality.
