There's a danger zone if you take yourself too seriously. It's a terrible trap to fall into. I think it's the death of comedy.
A lot of comedy is really DIY. You're kind of doing it yourself.
I've talked to a lot of other women in the field of comedy and none of us feel like being a woman has been a barrier to success in our lives. I can't claim to feel like I've been under some man's thumb in comedy. I've sort of always done my own thing for better or worse, and have been lucky enough to be able to perform ever since. So I'm not surprised by all the articles, but I don't know if it's necessarily true. It's not like we haven't been around.
