“A lot of people say a lot of things about Mitzi, but if you look at the unique people who’ve come up in comedy, like Sam Kinison, Bobcat Goldthwait, Sandra [Bernhard], even Andrew Dice Clay, they’ve come through the Store. It takes a while to find out what you’re doing. You fail so much. Maybe Mitzi feels she hasn’t affected things in a big way. But she affected us, and we went on to affect a lot of other people.” — Judy Carter (“A Room of Their Own,” 1993)
