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.
Aisha Tyler
Sometimes the mistake I see people make is thinking that they're always going to be up, and I think that's impossible for anyone.
Aisha Tyler
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.

Karaoke is the great equalizer.

I started out being a stand up and writing my own material. That took me to Talk Soup, where I was writing and performing for TV. So everything is all the same job in my eyes, and I don't want to ever give up any part of it. I will say that stand-up is my first love it's how I got started and is in my bones.

I love it when I come across a word I don't know. And I would never treat my audience like they weren't smart enough to come along with me.
Aisha Tyler
I think diversity in television is important. It's not about trying to fill a quota or satisfy some idea of diversity, but I think what diversity brings to any daypart is more eyeballs, just more opportunity.
Aisha Tyler
I was raised by a single dad, so I've always just kind of liked guys stuff. I think my dad just took me to the things he was interested in.
Aisha Tyler
I'm sure I had low-level scurvy all of my childhood.
Aisha Tyler
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
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.
Aisha Tyler
I like to be nice. I want to be a hero. I want to save people. Or just kill zombies, because they deserve it, because they're already dead and they can't feel it. They don't have feelings.
Aisha Tyler
They always say some women like to fix people. I don't like to fix people, but you like a challenge.
Aisha Tyler
I'm just myself, so I don't know that I think of myself as a nerd icon.
Aisha Tyler
Maybe the nails are a little stubby and gnawed on, but I definitely do not have man hands.
Aisha Tyler
I love Toronto. I love it. I love Toronto. I love Canada. I can't wait to get back. Can't wait to have some Timbits.
Aisha Tyler
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 wish I could say I'm an architect and planned it this way, foresaw doing all these things, but honestly, I've been lucky that things have come across my path and they've worked out well for me.
