More quotes by Aisha Tyler
I don't believe in superheroes but I love Batman movies. There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.
Aisha Tyler
I liked comedy, but didn't know it was something you could do for a living. I actually wanted to be an attorney.
Aisha Tyler
One thing we do really well on Archer and one thing I've always tried to do in my comedy and my writing and my podcast is to never speak down to my audience.
Aisha Tyler
I'm sure I had low-level scurvy all of my childhood.
Aisha Tyler
But I love stand-up, and it's where I came from creatively, so it's something I never want to walk away from.
Aisha Tyler
Omnipresence can be a good or bad thing, I suppose. I don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about it. I'm super-grateful.
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
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
They always say some women like to fix people. I don't like to fix people, but you like a challenge.
Aisha Tyler
I have always been a softie, and I fight it with every fiber of my being. Sadly, my being's fibers need to hit the gym.
Aisha Tyler
Wounds turn into scars and scars make you tough.
Aisha Tyler
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.
Aisha Tyler
I'm just myself, so I don't know that I think of myself as a nerd icon.
Aisha Tyler
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.
Aisha Tyler
Successful people just don't let failure define them or keep them from doing what they want to do. For example, I'd have people come up to me after my shows, and they'd say they want to do stand-up but are scared they're going to fail. I'd tell them, You are going to fail, and anyone who is success has powered through many, many failures.
Aisha Tyler
I grew up on the back of a motorcycle - my dad didn't have a car until I was a teenager. And then my closest friend from grade school was a guy.
Aisha Tyler
Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don't think so.
Aisha Tyler
I spent most of my seventh grade summer dehydrated, green-tongued, and smelling like a Malaysian whorehouse.
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.
Aisha Tyler
When I get old and slow down I want to look behind me and see all the fire and the wreckage and no stone left unturned.
Aisha Tyler
