''And I built a career out of self-deprecating humor. That’s what I’ve built my career on. And…I don’t want to do that anymore. Because, do you understand…do you understand what self-deprecation means from somebody 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.''
