I watched a lot of comedy growing up.

I couldn't believe that Donald Trump won. I couldn't believe that we elected an orangutan to front the country.

If you feel like there's some...

If you feel like there's something out there that you're supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.

Wanda Sykes 143 quotes

Sometimes black people really...

Sometimes black people really want to hold onto our oppression - 'This is ours! This belongs to us.' You can't just talk about equality for somebody else. Let's pass it on. Let's pass it on to somebody else. At the end of the day, it is all about inequality.

It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.

I'm always thinking of stuff; I just don't sit down and write it. I come up with material more as I go along; if something funny happens, I'll make a note of it on my phone.

My shows and my material are ...

My shows and my material are grounded in reality. It's pretty much something that's either happened in my life or in the news, and I start there and give you my take on it.

It's easier to rip somebody to shreds while you're making them laugh.

I have a sidekick, Keith Robinson, who's very funny. I've known Keith for over 20 years; he's my best friend.

If something stinks, I say it...

If something stinks, I say it stinks. But I try to massage it a little and not be as cutting, come behind it with a joke: Hey, I cut you deep, but now let me put a couple of stitches in you.

I have problems with YouTube and things like that, when you catch it mid production. If I'm doing a show and I'm working on a bit and someone's there with a phone, they record it and put it online - it's not the finished product.

I was funny around my family. My family, they're pretty funny, too.

I work hard. The staff and crew see how much energy I put into this project, and it makes them step up.

I enjoy stand-up because it has the biggest reward: instant gratification. You can hear the people laughing.

If I did a talk show, this would allow me to speak on what's happening at that moment. I can be current, and I get to flex my stand-up muscle but stay at home without doing the traveling.

I noticed recently, in the last few shows I did, that I'm starting to get people - not a large group, but quite a few people - who come to see me because they love Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The government shouldn't be involved in this because it's very simple. If you don't believe in same-sex marriage, then don't marry somebody of the same sex.

I guess because of my act, people think that I say things they want to say, and that they can just come up and say anything to me.

People are getting careers from YouTube and uploading videos. And they're totally different - you can't necessarily be funny on a video, and then all of a sudden you're live in a theater. You don't have the tools yet. It's a lot more involved to go from being funny on a little iPhone screen to being live in front of people and being funny.

A woman would pitch a joke. Nothing. Then a guy would pitch it and everybody would laugh.
