My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There’s no way I can control him. I wouldn’t stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.

One day, we had a layoff at my job. And I went to my boss, and I said, ‘Please save someone else’s job. This is a win-win situation for the company and me – and just lay me off.’ I did that in around 2003, and I never looked back. I became a full-time comic.
