In high school, I was doing a skit for forensics and people started laughing, more than I was prepared to deal with. It was a surprise.

I think I've always had a disconnect from what I'm supposed to be like.

I think it's great training for any comedian to start on cows. Because with cows, you expect them to be bored and just stare at you blankly. And that's exactly what you'll get at a comedy club. If you can toughen up with a cow audience, then you'll never be worried with a human audience.

I never really saw myself as a standup comedian. I always just thought of myself as someone who used the eight minutes or 10 minutes she was allotted and had a blast.

I'm not really a control person, and I'm a big believer in collaboration. I like to have a friend.

I would never bring a kid to a comedy show myself, but I have noticed that I can't stop other people from bringing their kids.

Being a correspondent on 'The Daily Show' is some combination of doing a character and doing stand-up. It's a juggling act to find a balance between being you and playing a role.

You go from nobody looking at you to people taking second looks. I remember really loving it - and then feeling so guilty for loving it. Like, 'That's gross, Kristen.' Also, telling myself it could go away at any moment, and I'd be so sad.

The more women sit down and write something in a woman's voice for a woman, they more you'll see women in comedy because gender doesn't define sense of humor. Imagination and intelligence and perspective do.

I loved 'Burning Love,' and I really do love almost everything Paul Scheer touches.
