Quotes by Whitney Cummings
I wasn't one of those kids who stole Richard Pryor records. I wasn't a comedy-nerd kid. I had no concept of stand-up. Actually, the only inkling of stand-up I had was I read one of Paul Reiser's books when I was, like, 12. I found it at a yard sale, and I carried it around with me for six years.
The most dangerous place I've ever performed standup is in my home state of California.
The indie movie world is like a bad Tinder date, and there are always strings attached.
We're socially constructed to hide our flaws, and that breeds pain for a lot of people.
Being on the plane is my catch-up time. I write thank-you notes. I read. I write stand-up jokes.
In the entertainment industry, there is this fear of getting older, because we have high definition television now, and you can see things that the human eye can't even pick up. But the good thing about standup is that the older you get, the funnier you get.
My body is not supportive of my career. My body has other plans for me. My body's plan is to slowly rot from the inside. By the time I'm ready to have kids, it's not going to be viable to do that.
I feel really trapped as a comedian - someone who is supposed to be funny and light, making jokes all the time. But I'm actually in this inauthentic armor.
