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
My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.
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 visualize myself winning the Olympic Pentathlon, inventing a phone that can be controlled by brain waves, or doing the laundry. I do not actually DO these things, but I see myself doing them, and that is almost MORE satisfying, because I am also lying down.
Aisha Tyler
Comedy is ugly. It's honest, it's raw.
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
Marriage isn't a carnival ride.

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.

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.
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'm my own boss and my boss is a total ass.
Aisha Tyler
Karaoke is the great equalizer.
Aisha Tyler
I don't want to be pandered to, so I try not to pander.
Aisha Tyler
I like grown up comedy.
Aisha Tyler
I thought I was gonna be an attorney, so I went to Dartmouth and I was a government major and I minored in environmental policy, and I didn't do anything academically around the arts.
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 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
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
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 want to point out, that this is not my fault that everyone's afraid of me, because I did not kill a couple people the other day.
