- Her experience working with legendary comedian Gerry Katzman in his stand-up comedy class -- and how she overcame constant fear and self-doubt as she developed and practiced her material
- How she feels about finding success at the beginning of her career and being able to meet her comedy idols
- How being "familiar" and feminine as a gay woman has helped her both in her comedy and her life
