My family doesn't understand trying to chase your dreams because they were all about survival.

My stand-up has a lot of performance in it, and I loved doing it so much that, after years, I put the idea of having a show on the back burner.

A lot of my material was based on my family.

But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to individual and group differences becomes more firmly established than ever.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
