I don't know if I was always an open person, but I think stand-up comics specifically have this way of running towards embarrassing things - whereas regular people tend to run away - because the embarrassing story is always going to be the really funny story.

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 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.

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 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 take the most wrenchingly painful moments of my life, brush them off and present them for the amusement of others. Luckily for me, my childhood was torture.

Pop culture is great, but it can be bad, at times.

Marriage is a mystery and part of it is just being kind to each other, not being selfish.

I'm black, and black don't crack. It does droop.

Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don't think so.
Aisha Tyler

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.
Aisha Tyler
Image
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.

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.
