To make you have the best night that I possibly can. And then if I'm just doing a set in New York at the comedy cellar, like an unannounced thing, I get such a nice greeting now. But with that comes a lot of pressure. But that's a more laid back setting. So I'm kind of figuring it out. But I feel like fearless and it feels good to do work.”

“Like, I wasn't good yet. But I learned on that tour because I got so used to bombing. I wasn't even trying to do well. And once I stopped trying to do well and I just said what I thought was funny and stood there in my own power because I trusted the jokes. It was that I didn't, you don't, there's no accounting for going on the road and doing it. So I had to actually do the legwork and just bomb night after night.”

“Not my buses. I would, yeah, no, it was a lot of like. No, because that's for mail comics, I think. Not all of them. That's a generalization. But, you know, I never hooked up on the road. I never, I wouldn't get wasted after the show. I would go home and look over my set and, you know, try and be healthy, go to the next town, work on my jokes. Yeah, I think Bob Hope had a joke about that. I don't remember, but it was like the guys who were going out chasing the waitresses after are not the ones. Yeah, but I think it was...”

“To keep getting up on stage. Oh, to keep getting up after bombing It was this just undeniable drive to get better and having a taste of laughter and of success and like boxing. It's like something you get better at. And so realizing it's like learning an instrument. I realized I'm not great at this, but I know if I really work my ass off, I can get, I think I can get pretty good. And the encouragement of other people, other professional comedians, saying keep going. And, you know, you're not funny yet, but you have potential and you could be if you work really hard.”

“I was in a really bad surfing accident as a teenager, and I have a pretty big scar on my leg from it. So I am still pretty afraid of surfing. I just want to be careless with my body. But in terms of a fear, I love facing my fears. It's like boxing. Like you're afraid of getting hit. But if you actually get in the ring and you spar with someone, you're so afraid that it's like you're experiencing it, right? Like you're putting your body through the...”

“And they're just calling us out. You said you would protect me. You said we were safe. And I think actually it's something that That I continue to learn You get educated in school and But they also tell you question authority. To a certain extent, but I feel like my generation, like I was raised with an illusion of equality that doesn't exist for women, for people of color, it was kind of like, we're going to tell you about slavery. And this is what the 60 Minutes piece also made me think of. We're going to tell you about slavery. We're going to tell you about the Holocaust and how women couldn't vote. But that's the past. And now we're all equal. And I thought, oh, okay, cool.”

I was like, yeah, it was the, if not the worst day, one of the worst days of my life Just wanted to go there. What can I do? Is there any way I can help? And it was like, no, you can't just help. There's no problem to solve. This is something that I realized I was going to be working on. The more I got educated, I realized this is something I'm going to be working on the rest of my life. But what the Parkland students have done, you know, just... Thank you.”

And the people I love love me and they're close to me. And I'm just going to create my own destiny, my own path. I think you were the one who said opportunity meeting preparation, right?

“I think one of the lessons about my abuse of X, it was it hit me like a ton of bricks one day. Oh, I'm not this awful, ugly, stupid person he's trying to make me feel like I am. He's saying that because he's afraid of losing me. It just occurred to me one day. And it was like, I mean, light bulbs. And then I couldn't unsee it. And everything he said from then on just bounced right off me and almost made me laugh at him because it was so transparent. So that was a lesson. And then the other lesson was... Was about loving myself and the package I've come in. Yeah, I have had real battles with self-esteem over the years. And when I finally learned that, you learn it over and over again. Until I really finally learned it. I mean, I still have bad days, obviously, when I'm like hemorrhaging.”

“It happens to all women. It's not. You know who we picture, I think I had a really distinct picture of what I thought an abused woman looked like. It would probably be someone like, you know, in the movie Eight Mile, like Eminem's wide, right, right, right, And really, its CEOs and its powerful, brilliant women.”

“Aziz is my friend. And there are plenty of guys that I'm close with who have done things that I don't think they should be very proud of. And yeah, you just hope that they learn and grow from it and that. It's so much bigger than them. This moment and these. These incidents are Are really to change the whole population. And so while it feels really personal to them, and it is, but really it's not. It's about everybody and everyone's behavior. So if they have to go through this. To correct their own behavior or to change the future”

“I don't feel challenged. As a friend, I feel for the women. Who, whether or not it was the men's intention, it's what the women experienced. I just feel for them and I put myself in their shoes. I think what I would have felt like, and I'm someone who's strong and speaks up, and I've still had these moments. And, you know, more than I'm proud of, but ones that I wouldn't have now. And this movement times up, and me too. It's really changed me and my behavior with what I am and am not willing to deal with. And in terms of it being some of my friends. Yeah, it's hard when it's. When it's your friend, you know, but.”

“Absolutely. I totally get it, and it's a lot of change at once. And so while this isn't a time to be sympathizing with men, it's not about them. I think it's the most productive for us to hold their hands and say, this is how you help us. What you've done, I want to just say let's just go from here. Okay? That doesn't mean you're not responsible for what you've done in the past. But let's all just start over. And it's up to us to teach them what's okay. Because for so long, it's been okay. At the office would flirt back with you, and it was okay. You'd make a comment about her body or outfit. And now it's like.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“To call out these moments and tell someone that made me uncomfortable or that's not okay, it's about doing the right thing for the woman who comes after you. I think we forget about that woman So, if someone's hurting you, it's not just good for you to stop that behavior. It's good for everyone who will come after you. And so if a doctor does something that makes you uncomfortable or someone in an elevator or your husband or anyone, you have to tell them it's not okay for other women.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“But what I learned, I think I was like 19 or 20, was that it is never too late to say no. And we should all do our best not to put ourselves in situations. We shouldn't go back to someone's hotel room. We shouldn't do our best not to physically be somewhere. Where we're sending those messages. But if you have done that, if you've made the mistake, if you've gone home and you realize you don't want to sleep with them, you're allowed to leave and you won't regret leaving like you will regret sleeping with someone you don't want to. You don't need to power through. Sex with someone, you can always leave and you always have the right and the option. And kind of the responsibility. I think something with this movement that's changed me is that it's not just good for us.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“But another heartbreaking moment was in the stormy Daniels interview when she said, when she described going to the hotel room. And kind of feeling like she had to have sex with him. She talked about, and whoever it was, it doesn't even matter that it was him She said Oh, what have I gotten myself into? That feeling of well, I went home with him And I see what he wants, and she just felt like she didn't have another choice. And I understand that feeling. I had put myself in that position there. I can think of a couple of men that I slept with where I really didn't want to, but just kind of felt like it'll be too hard to get out of here without. I didn't think that they would rape me or assault me. I just, I felt like by being there, I had signed some sort of it.”

“Well, you know, first of all, I loved your piece on 60 minutes last week, and thank you for that. And that was the most heartbreaking thing.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah. I also have the fear of saying that because then it's this part of our interview will be a thing and then it'll be discussed and debated and people will be angry. People get angry when you share your story. And that's why the Me Too movement is so important because it's a whole group of us saying not only are we not angry, we're grateful that you were brave enough. And this new generation, I mean, I'm so grateful to them and what we're learning from them.”

“Know there is the desire to label things so we can store it somewhere. And put it away. What was that? I personally feel like I lost my virginity through rape. Didn't consent, we hadn't discussed it We weren't there in our relationship. We weren't at that moment. And we talked about things, you know, we were open with each other.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah, then eventually. I mean, we were. Together. And people hear a woman say that she was sexually assaulted. And I think nine times out of ten, people's first reaction is to doubt the woman. It's just something that men and women do. We think, we'll wait. What was, what happened? We're going to decide if you consented. And with the statistics, I think it's one in six women. Is sexually assaulted. Well, those statistics don't match up. If one in six of us is raped, And you're doubting all of us, where are the numbers matching up here?”

“Yeah, Steve was my boyfriend. I loved him. I had to comfort him. I also felt really angry, which was something I, it was just a feeling I had. I felt really angry at him. And it's like a rage that has stayed with me. I don't think you lose that. And, you know, as women, we're really trained not to get angry because that makes people... Dismiss you right away. There's sort of no place for that anger. But I felt Wanted to comfort him because he felt so bad and he was so worried. And just tried to push my anger down.”

“Obviously, doesn't feel okay about that. The first thing he said was, I thought you knew. I didn't say anything yet. He said, I thought you knew.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“And some villain, they don't say it's probably going to be a guy you know really well. It could be your husband. It could be your friend. And so you think when that happens to you, you say, okay, well, this isn't someone I want to see rotting in a jail cell, but what he did to me was wrong and I didn't consent. And for me, I lost my virginity while I was asleep. And that's not okay. So, in my standup, I would say if she's asleep, that's a no. Just hoping that a couple of guys would see that and be met in that moment and say, oh, no, this is a no. I heard it somewhere.”
2018-04-23 · Oprah's Super Soul · Amy Schumer: A Modern-Day Warrior Woman · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah, r Yeah, so in my stand, if I used to talk about, I called it grape, gray area rape, which is, you know, it was a way of bringing this up in my stand up shave carrots, trying to make people laugh while they learned. And it was really me saying when we hear about rape when we're children and we're being warned about it, it's about a guy popping out from a bush while you're in the bush.”

“Well, I have to say, this is probably the greatest moment so far, and I'm feeling every single moment and trying to appreciate it and be present. That was just a selfish little moment I took for myself, so I'd like to apologize. I think after the first season of my TV show came out. That was the reaction to it. There was such a demand to be getting this perspective. In a way, I didn't realize. We didn't know we were doing something that felt revolutionary to the people who were paying attention. And then somebody, a writer described our show as putting shaved carrots into brownies, you know, like people don't want to feel like they're learning. But to say, you know, here, eat this, and then you walk out being nourished.”

“Don't think so. It's like, yeah, we're human beings I don't see any value in the shame we've been conditioned to feel about these things that we were born with, being plagued with. I have a joke right now where I talk about, and it's true, like if you, I don't, that I don't like to buy tampons because you can kind of always get one. Like somebody will hook you up with one. But the way we ask for them, we say, I say you don't even have to say the words. You can just go, does anyone? You know, like. And we whisper it. Yes. I didn't ask to be born with ovaries and to shed my uteral lining once a month, you know, but it's, and then people go, oh, don't talk about, you know, and it's like, well, I don't think we should be at the dinner table showing pictures of our poop, but I don't want to be made to feel bad that I'm a human being.”

“So before my first hour special, that's when I thought I want to do my part and be this. I'll be this thing. I don't think about sex more than other people. I don't have sex more than other people. But that was the first sort of gateway I saw that this is the thing I'll be right now. And I know I'm constantly evolving. And just changing who I am as a comic and as an artist and a woman, but that was the first time I thought.”

“I thought, I don't remember hearing women talk about sex very much. I can't think of a stand-up comic. I couldn't think of a that had really talked about it at length. And all the artwork that I've seen, Eve Vensler's vagina monologues, where I realized, oh, a lot of women, they go to their graves without ever having an orgasm because they felt ashamed or like they didn't deserve it. Or we're self-conscious, and I just thought if there's a way that I can help women enjoy their lives more and feel more empowered and be able to enjoy sex and realize that they have a right to an orgasm too”

I don't want to be striving for this other version”
