Interview With Janeane Garofalo,
Tasha Robinson, The Onion
Tasha Robinson of
The Onion A.V. Club, a section of the publication
dedicated to in-depth interviews, talks to actor and comic
Janeane Garofalo ‘about her reputation, her image, her films,
and her perceived irrelevance.’ When Robinson asks Garofalo why
she thinks people misperceive her as cynical, Garofalo replies
that it’s because she’s a female comic. ‘They only call females
‘caustic,’ whereas Chris Rock and Dennis Miller are ‘edgy.” She
adds: ‘But me and Sandra Bernhard are ‘ball-busters,’ or
‘castrating.’ That type of thing. It’s just sexist.’ For more
insight into the life of Garofalo and the challenges of acting
and making people laugh, check out the rest of the
interview.
