I think I have to quit comedy.
I built a career on self deprecating humor and I don't want to do that any more.
Do you understand what self-deprecation means
when it comes from someone who already exists in the margins?
It's not humility. It's humiliation.
I put myself down in order to speak, in order to seek permission to speak,
and I simply will not do that anymore,
not to myself,
or anybody who identifies with me.
