If I'm in the position where I get to hire someone, where I get to decide who joins me on tour, then I am mindful about that, and I try to suggest women that I know who I think deserve more exposure.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Part of me has always wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe or any Fifties Hollywood starlet. On screen, they seemed so sexy and simple and looked after. In real life, I'm none of those things. But I'd rather be fierce and complicated.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
If I've got a confidence problem, it's that my self-esteem is entirely too high.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Anything that I'm passionate about and surprises me usually ends up turning into a joke simply because I have questions about it and I'm curious and I want to talk about it.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
My life is so much better with lupus because I know that stress and too much junk food will literally put me in hospital.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I'm not interested in younger men for the same reason most women aren't interested in younger men; I don't have time to make an extra packed lunch every morning. Please. I'm busy enough already.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
When you stand out in a small town or at work,or in your peer group, whatever it is, it feels really awful. Certainly, when you're growing up, you want to be normal. You just want to fit in. Then you realize that maybe fitting in is, in some respects, quite ordinary. I think it's good to put a positive spin on being slightly unique.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I think it's better, if people aren't getting on, that they should divorce.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I feel like I'm always on the right side of wrong and trying to shout out for the underdog.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I love Britain. I'm an Irish citizen, but I was born in Canada, and I'm a British comedian, really. My entire career has been over here.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Regressing back to an infant state is nothing to be proud of. Rich Americans don't drive themselves, don't cook, don't do their own nails/hair/make-up, don't shop, and I suppose all they've got in common with rich British people is that they don't raise their own kids, either.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I was certainly not a class clown; I confused and angered a lot of people with my sense of humor.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Why would you watch an Oscar-nominated film unless you're mad enough to purposely experience feelings? Bleh. I'm not interested in catching those.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I'm from that generation where there aren't that many pictures of me as a baby.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I have a really different touring life to most comedians because I go home every night to do the school run in the morning. So I'm not in hotels or living it up.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
When you're really famous, there's very little authenticity in people, so you prefer the company of children.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I was born with the confidence of an 89-year-old man. So it's strange when people ask, 'What's it like being a female comedian?' It never occurred to me that I'd be limited as a woman - that I couldn't be a scientist, a doctor, or anything I wanted.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Stand-up comedy is not a man's job. It's an alpha job: To be the only person in a room with a microphone who's allowed to talk.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I was really lucky to have been raised in this really powerful matriarchy where my dad was around, but I was with my mom and my grandma most of the time. They were heavy influences on me. My mother has a career in technology; my grandma sold real estate.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
You'll never make a success of yourself when you're doing an impersonation of somebody else.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
When I think about women of color and their place politically in the world and culture... they've had two layers of just garbage to overcome. To me, a black woman is a woman-woman.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I was a product of the society that said women are for decoration, and I do think girls should be able to do whatever they want.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I guess I talk about her because I'm interested; I'm listening. Taylor Swift's words are so valuable to so many young people, not just her #GirlSquad.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
My dad's Irish, so I was visiting Ireland a lot as a kid, so it's not totally foreign to me.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Jeremy Corbyn confuses the public because he looks like a librarian and enjoys baking bread.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
I know a lot about systemic lupus erythematosus because I have it, too. I was diagnosed through the NHS when I first moved to England in 2008 following months of serious illness.
Quote by -Katherine Ryan
Our attention spans have been reduced by the immediate gratification provided by smartphones and social media.
