“Yeah, and I know what I saw. And to be honest with you, I was looking at myself. I didn't picture someone else. I looked at what the image that was in front of me. And I let myself love this package I come in. I was feeling grateful for my legs and my strong arms and this healthy body. And really, I'm looking at myself and I let myself just fall in love”

“And it's really all about themselves. And this trailer of this movie coming out, there was this backlash and people were really upset about it. And they projected so much of their own of themselves onto it. Some people said, why did she have to see herself as skinny to feel beautiful? And I said, you never see what I saw. That's what you think I saw. I know what I saw. But people have so much emotion about this topic because we've all had... Had so many battles with ourselves about it.”

“All of that. Right. Yeah. I listed a whole bunch of words just because you know the comments are going to come. And yeah, that was me commenting on. People's experience of my body, of how I look. It was so interesting, and some people were like, she shouldn't have posted that, it's disgusting. And then I think it was a high school girl. I think she had just been on a trip where she saw the actual sculpture of Aphrodite. And she photoshopped it. She put it next to mine. And we had the same body. And it was like, that was so interesting to me. It was like,”

“It used to hurt my feelings when I was, you know, this is literally 10 years ago, I did that show Last Comic Standing and people would, I'd get compliments and then I would just get the most hateful. Vile, just cruel, and I would think, oh, you know, and you almost accept it as fact. Like, oh, okay, I'm ugly. Wait, this is unbeautiful. Oh, I'm the most disgusting woman alive. And then after a while, you're like, oh, they're both right. Has nothing to do with that, and then not just trolls, you know, it's, I think the worst is when people say something to you and they don't know they're insulting you. They think they're saying something to you like you knew it already, you know, being like, you know, they'll be like, you know how you have like a really like chubby face and I'm like”

“If I found out one of my friends wrote something mean on a Kardashian's social media, I'd be like, you're out of my phone. That's crazy. That's crazy. What is wrong with you?”

“Yeah, yeah. I couldn't feel a mean internet comment now if I wanted to. I think I've gotten so desensitized to it over the years. And then it just, I feel such sympathy for the people who feel motivated to go. I mean, I don't even know anyone that would write a mean comment on a stranger's Instagram or whatever.”

“Yeah, because if you're worried about how you look or you're pulling at something and you can't get out of your own way, you can't just think about your brain and speak up and share your ideas because we've gotten so accustomed to. Trying to be everything to everyone as women, being likable, being a good host, trying to look perfect. And also we're afraid of insults. So many women don't speak up if somebody wrongs them just for fear of somebody saying something mean about you.”

“Thank you. I was trying to send this message to everyone, but really to young women. This concept that I had that became fact to me of where I get my confidence and how to live up to my full potential. It's just a gift that I wanted to give to everyone, and especially young women. We had a screening the other night for just teenage girls, and it was really emotional. It was one of the best nights of my life. I mean, they loved the movie, they were having fun and dancing and laughing, and moments going, no, no, no, no, no, or cheering. But then at the end, when I give that speech where I realized it was me, they were real quiet and then they were wiping tears and then just talking to them after the movie. I felt like it really affected them. And I think maybe this movie might accomplish what I wanted it to.”

“Six years I started doing it, and especially if you're on a set or something It's just like getting a great night of sleep in the middle of the day. Because, yeah, you go back to work and it's not just doing your work. It's also saying hi to everyone on set, asking the cameraman how his daughter's soccer tournament went. Really showing up for people because if it's your set, if it's your place of work, you obviously set the tone for how everyone's going to treat each other You can't be in a bad mood, and then that takes away the right from anyone else to come and be.”

“Oh, long walk, like a dangerously long walk, and music and not talking to anybody or reading, or I meditate. I do TM. Life changer”

“And they're just having a nice interaction people do it all day, and some people really love it, and I just don't have the capacity for it. I'd rather somebody say I'm getting a divorce. I'd say, oh, tell me about it.”

“Yeah, I think people don't understand what it, I have the hardest time in the world with small talk. I can't do it, especially when you're...”

“Yeah, so I purposely didn't seek you out because it's just too much. It takes so much from someone. And I'm so aware of what it's like to be an introvert that I wouldn't want to do that to anyone. So there's really great interactions that I can have. So you know what my favorite thing is walking around Central Park or something? People who just smile or wave. That's the best. And I can deal with the quick I love you or keep going. And then anything else sits me trying to do a good job for them, you know? And I feel like I disappoint people all day.”

“And that's tough. People have an expectation of what it would be like to meet you or what they would say. Because I'm aware of that, if I saw you. At a party, I think were you at Ellen's party”

“Right, feeds off it. She feeds off. And we get sucked dry. And I get sucked dry. Yeah, you need to be taken out of a party and a stretcher.”

“Yeah, people are confused about, but how could you get up in front of so many people? It's different. And I think when you're so giving of yourself and... And your mind and everything you need to take a break. You can't.”

“About something a troll said to me that wound up making me feel empowered. But I've really laid off that because I realized it wasn't good for me or the people watching it.”

“Yeah, I think a lot of women have identified with how I was feeling. And I think it was a defense mechanism. A lot of my stand up and a lot of myself. No, it hadn't been in the past. When I started standup, I was doing a full character pretty much. This real irreverent kind of dummy who said things and didn't realize why they would be funny. And then over the years, I've gotten closer and closer to just being myself on stage. And realize I don't want people laughing at things for the wrong reasons. And now to the point where I understand if I'm being self-deprecating, that might actually hurt someone else's feelings. And so that's something I have taken responsibility for. And I'll still make a joke.”

“It's okay. It's going to be okay. Let me explain to you. They're like, so you just get up with that body and you brush your teeth.”

“All of a sudden, no one knows you, and it's back to being completely judged by your parents. I felt like my worth was only in my physicality. And it took me a year or more to get back to remembering that that's not who I am and to stop listening to other people. I needed to listen to myself. What I knew and that I was proud of who I was as a friend and a sister and a student and everything else and that that's where my confidence really came from. But it was a constant battle and then entering the business. There have been moments where, yeah, just other people, you know, I feel great in my own skin, in my body. It's I have had to walk other people through my body. You have to like hold their hand and say,”

“And as a child, you know, you start. Like bullying happens, but I still had a good, I had the groundwork place to be like, no, I think you're wrong. My mom said I'm gorgeous. But then I felt like in high school I really had an identity. I knew who I was. And people knew me and respected me and I was proud of myself. And then you get dropped off in college and...”

“Probably as a little girl. Yeah. Yeah. You know, just as a toddler. I did. I did feel pretty My parents just drilled it into my head that I was special, you know, and I bought it. By the time I realized that I didn't look like somebody who would wind up in magazines that we have gotten used to. It was kind of too late. The brainwashing had already.”

“There's no fear. Because you really trust your intentions and your potential, which is sort of with this movie, that's what I want. And I think that's all we both want for women is for them to get out of their own way and have the tools to live up to their full potential, not let anything hold them back like how they feel they look or some flaw that they perceive in themselves.”

“Yeah, I didn't set out to do that at first. I just wanted to perform and make people laugh. And then I realized people are paying attention and you have this not responsibility but this opportunity to be a voice for women.”

“Basically, the concept behind I believe. I know. But it's like the kind of thing where you can say it and you can feel like you've found the right words. This really felt like a story that exemplified it perfectly. Look at this concept in practice. And that's why when I heard the premise of it, I just thought, oh, that's so great. That's a really great way to show this message. It's not about other people's.”

“I just knew it felt I'd never wanted to be married ever. I thought the concept of marriage was weird. Like, why do you want to involve the government in love, you know? But then... I just wanted to sign all available paperwork to commit to this man.”
