My mother carried me for 10 months. I asked her ‘Mother, you had an extra month, why you didn’t make me a beautiful face?’ and mother told me, ‘My son, I was busy making your beautiful hands and heart.’ Picture Quote #1

When I was nine years old, living on the south side of Chicago, my father was a minister and my mother used to scrub floors. I had seven brothers and four sisters.

You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all Picture Quote #1

My mother never, ever told me about evilness. She only saw the beautiful things... she wanted to protect me from it Picture Quote #1

I am an unconventional beauty. I grew up in a high school where if you didn’t have a nose job and money and if you weren’t thin, you weren’t cool, popular, beautiful. I was always told that I wasn’t pretty enough to be on television Picture Quote #1

Hey you! I told you to slow that nag down! Because of you, I almost heard the opera! Picture Quote #1

I think the lie we’ve told people in the marketplace is that a degree gets you a job. A degree doesn’t get you a job. What gets you a job is the ability to carry yourself into that room and shake a hand and look someone in the eye and have people skills. These are the things that cause people to become successful Picture Quote #1

I’d gotten the message in my home, starting with my grandfather, that real work, the kind that makes you sweat and gets your hands dirty, is a respectable, necessary thing.

I have late-stage Lyme disease. I was misdiagnosed for many, many years and told I had lupus, MS, Crohn’s disease, even degenerative arthritis. And finally in 2010, I got the correct diagnosis, because on the last Le Tigre tour, I was having several seizures a day and at times not being able to brush my own teeth Picture Quote #1

Like my father told me, if at first you don’t succeed, try again. And again. And again. But after that, give up. It’s no good being stubborn Picture Quote #1

I never saw movies I was in because my mom told me that would be prideful, being stuck on yourself Picture Quote #1

When I was 13 I told my dad I’d rather kill myself than do an ordinary job. He vaguely muttered something about how I’d need to earn a living somehow, but he’s been totally behind me, forking out money he didn’t really have to send me to university. Every other comedian I’ve met had to fight their parents to be allowed to do this but mine have been brilliant Picture Quote #1
