No one wants to hear about how awesome you were people want to hear about the time you blew it. So I think the longer you do stand-up, the more comfortable you are. You stop wanting to hide your foibles and instead want to show who you are.

I liked comedy, but didn't know it was something you could do for a living. I actually wanted to be an attorney.

When I was young I thought, 'Yeah, people don't see, they're not recognizing how funny I am, and how talented I am'. And the guys that mentored me were like, 'You just have to keep getting up'. And I look back and they were right. They were all right.

I always tell people that if you really want to know somebody, they should listen to that person's interview with me. I spend a lot of time with my guests.

You know, it's about getting out there and having a good time. Not about worrying - all these young books for women are like I'm 29 with a closet full of Prada shoes and I can't get a date. Come on.
Aisha Tyler
Image
I'm just going to be the best version of me that I could possibly be and be as funny as I possibly can. I've just got to be myself and hopefully people will find me. And my audience did find me.

Marriage is a mystery and part of it is just being kind to each other, not being selfish.
Aisha Tyler
Image
But I love stand-up, and it's where I came from creatively, so it's something I never want to walk away from.

I think I was only attracted to drunken douches before I got married.

Pop culture hales you and wants you to fail.

I always wanted to be as busy as possible so that if one job went away I'd still have plenty of other things to do.

Pop culture is great, but it can be bad, at times.
Aisha Tyler
Image
I love to be busy and be challenged. I'm my happiest when I'm under pressure and almost overwhelmed by how much I have to get done.

I was born in California, raised a vegetarian, and love science fiction, so don't tell me how I need to be in order to fit your standards. When I was younger, those kinds of comments bothered me, but eventually got to a point where I realized I wasn't going to change who I was.

I like the company of guys. I have a lot of good girlfriends that I really love, but you know, most of my close friends are men.
