Zitat des Tages von Jen Kirkman:
Having a child is a lifetime commitment, the biggest one you can possibly make.
As a woman of a certain age - and really, ever since I hit puberty and my baby-making parts were suddenly subject to public debate - I've been told over and over again that I will 'change my mind' about not wanting kids.
Instead of saving for someone else's college education, I'm currently saving for a luxury retirement community replete with golf carts and handsome young male nurses who love butterscotch.
Don't overpack your carry-on. You're never going to read that second book or that fourth magazine.
I'm not a big fan of young people.
The women doing comedy do not even think of themselves as 'female' comedians.
What they call 'alt-comedy' now is basically what comedy was like in the '80s. People tried different things, and everybody went to the clubs; there was no other place. Then somehow, the clubs became infiltrated by Dice Clay and Carrot Top types.
I want to travel the world and enjoy things, so if you gave me $50 million and said, 'You can never perform again,' I probably would take it and be fine with it.
I still have to work paycheck to paycheck. Being in show business doesn't indicate that you're a 'success,' in my opinion.
The urge that most people feel to have kids is the exact same as the urge that I have to not have kids. I do not want to raise a child.
At first, there was a separation of clubs and sketch comedy. Now there's all kinds of comedy, making us one big happy family.
Childfree women are actually great assets to the planet. Our carbon footprint is smaller than a mom's! And we have enough money to write checks to organizations that help kids get vaccinations, vitamins, and educations yet have plenty of free time to advise your daughter that one day she will regret piercing her lip.
Have you ever tried to talk to a baby or a toddler? They never look you square in the eyes, they know about three words, and God forbid they ever ask you how you're doing. It's all about them!
I'd love to be a hit in Germany. I'm working on trying to get a gig as David Hasselhoff's opening act.
A lot of relationships have ended for me in my 20s, because I knew that eventually those people would wanna settle down and have kids.
I love being on the road, but to make a living as a road comic, you have to be on it most weeks out of the year. That's just too much for me. But I would love to be such a successful road comic that I don't have to go on it every week.
I'm very big into just feeling good and doing what I want; I'm not very calculated or thoughtful about my moves.
Use your passport for domestic trips, so that way you don't risk losing your license.
I actually like, love, and respect myself, and I try not to take anything too seriously.
