More quotes by 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
I'm black, and black don't crack. It does droop.
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
TV always wants more people to be watching.
Aisha Tyler
Comedy is ugly. It's honest, it's raw.
Aisha Tyler
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.

I love being married. I love my husband. I think married people always have that thing where they think that the grass is greener on the single side, but all my single friends are like, Trust me, you don't want to have to actually interact with these people.

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.

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
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
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
I like grown up comedy.
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'm the kindest, most supportive friend ever, probably to my own detriment, but I hope that I am toughening up a little bit.
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
Marriage isn't a carnival ride.
Aisha Tyler
I spent most of my seventh grade summer dehydrated, green-tongued, and smelling like a Malaysian whorehouse.
Aisha Tyler
Marriage is a mystery and part of it is just being kind to each other, not being selfish.
