That, to me, is my kind of comedy. Like, Ricky Gervais comedy. That's my kind of thing. "

You don't think, 'I'm going to watch that comedy starring a woman,' you think, 'I'm going to watch that funny show.' They refuse to play the foils for men, or be reduced to the butt of every joke, and I love that about both of them. "
