Actress-comedian Sarah Silverman says she is done using gay slurs in her comedy. In an interview to TMZ, the 48-year-old comedian addressed her previous use of homophobic slang in tweets that came to surface in the wake of the Kevin Hart-Oscars controversy, reports people.com. Asked if she would use words like that again, Silverman said: "I'm done with that."

"I think I can find other ways to be funny. I used to say ‘gay' all the time -- ‘Oh that's so gay'. Because we're from Boston. We'd go, ‘That's what you say in Boston. I have gay friends, I just say gay'. And then I heard myself and realised … it was stupid. And I'm certainly creative enough to think of other words besides that that don't hurt people."
