The logic was, there weren't too many female comedians, so I thought I might as well try a field that had fewer competitors than the field I was in, which was acting, singing and dancing. ↗

I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have. ↗

I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me. ↗

When cutting staff at the Pentagon, don't eliminate the thin layer that assures civilian control. ↗
