"I get my strength from wanting to teach other women that everything about you is OK, and you shouldn..." — Iliza Shlesinger

I didn't get an agent until after 'Last Comic Standing' - of course, getting on a show like that will get you attention.

It's never occurred to me - and I don't know what right mixture of upbringing this was - that my opinion wasn't as important as the alpha males or that I shouldn't try or that I wasn't the funniest one in the room.

Sounds are something that I always emulate - I'll walk around, and if a coffee pot goes off or a phone rings, I'll often mimic the sound. To me, everything's got a voice.

I believe in always having a lot of irons in the fire.
