Sarah Silverman. She's the reason I do comedy. Her DNC speech was my favorite thing I ever heard. Sitting down with her and laughing would be incredible.
I've been watching a ton of Ali Wong on Netflix. I love everything she does - there's a fearlessness about her.
I wanted to be the female Jim Carrey.
Lucille was a darling lady. Probably the finest comedienne in the business.
[Joan Rivers] is fantastic. AND SHE'S 80! There's no 80-year-old pitcher. If you're a running back and you're 28 they're like, "Oh, here he goes, turning the corner on his career, he's on the downswing..."
Joan Rivers, who said to Marcel Marceau, Can we talk? Never got a dinner!
Male comics are always coming up to me and they're like 'Hey Natasha. Don't you think you're a little attractive to be a comedian?' and I'm like 'Don't you think you're a little ugly to be talking to me?'
Phyllis Diller came through a mine field of male comedians when she arrived on the comedy scene and she defused them all. She won her place in the Hall of Comedy as the First Lady. I will miss her.
I loved 'The Carol Burnett Show' - I thought she was the funniest lady I'd ever seen.
I love Jennifer Saunders, the 'Absolutely Fabulous' creator.
I'm very fond of Amy Schumer. I think she's terrific, an enormous talent.
You know James Corden - I'm like a version of him but in a girl.
I'm such a fan of Lily's [Tomlin], for so many years. I feel like Lily was the first popular mainstream crossover comedian who also was kind of an overtly feminist comedian.
I would love to work with Kristin Wiig one day. I find her hilarious, and I totally idolize her.
I've never set out to write a funny movie or be a funny comedian as a woman. I am a woman. I don't really have a choice in the matter. My goal is just to be funny.
I've always dreamed of growing up to be Amy Poehler.
I'm a really gifted physical comedienne. I write and produce a lot of sketch comedy.
Cameron Esposito is a musician and podcaster from the States and she's hilarious.
I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.
When I was 17, I read a profile of Carol Leifer. Since then, I wanted to be her. I still want to be her.
I love Chelsea Handler.
I've been called Ellen DeGeneres on a number of occasions over the course of my career.
Instead of going into politics, I decided to go into comedy, which is the second most daunting career path for a woman.
Tina Fey is one of my heroes.
When I first started I was always known as The Girl on the Sitcom with the Funny Voice.
