I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.

Truth is, I’ve always been selling out. The difference is that in the past, I looked like I had integrity because there were no buyers.

I have always felt that humor was a wonderful vehicle to let us become connected with each other

I have always felt that humor was a wonderful vehicle to let us become connected with each other and ourselves… I try to portray the similarities and polarities in men and women, so that we can acknowledge and embrace our collective consciousness.

When you talk about yourself for 35 years, first of all, it gets repetitious. And then it seems a little bit excessive, at the least.

9 to 5 made people aware of equal pay for equal work. It hasn’t really happened, but it has come closer. We’re aware of sexual harassment, and of course, there are very few companies that have daycare centers, which seems to me would be the most humane, positive thing to do for a worker. The worker would be more loyal, they’d be more productive. It’s so crazy not to do the human thing. It seems to me to be much more profitable to do the human thing. It just makes a better society.
