There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'
Women, a lot of the time, are so much funnier than men, but they just choose not to do comedy for a living.
Women are very funny. Some of the funniest people I can think of are women.
It’s crazy. Since there have been men and women, there have been funny women... f**king idiot-ass men keep saying that women aren't funny. It makes me crazy. I find it disgusting and offensive every time.
To me, I've never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men.
When I first started doing press interviews, the big question was, 'Do you think women are funny?' People would ask you that in an interview. In an interview! It's like, of course they are.
Why didn’t you talk about whether women are funny or not? I just felt that by commenting on that in any real way, it would be tacit approval of it as a legitimate debate, which it isn’t.
Funny is funny. If it's funny enough to women, it will be funny to men. I think that's been proven by Broad City and Amy Schumer. They're killing it.
What's special with 'Corrie' is that they have the comedy element, women are funny as well - they might do the emotional stuff, they might do the drama, but they're really funny too.
I think the whole concept that women aren't funny is dead. It's over; it's done.
I grew up in a time when women didn't really do comedy. You had to be homely, overweight, an old maid, all that. You had to play a stereotype, because very attractive women were not supposed to be funny - because it's powerful; it's a threat.
I love funny women. I love writing funny women characters.
I hate that there's such an emphasis on women in comedy. Are women OK? Are they just as funny as men? Yes!
