More quotes by 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
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 talk to grown-ups who are out to have a good time and they want to be spoken to in a different way. I don't want to be pandered to, so I try not to pander.
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.

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.

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
So much of a stand-up's life is doing live radio and having to be funny and quick on the spot with these strangers, and sort of surgical in terms of how funny I can be in three minutes.
Aisha Tyler
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 can tell you this: Stand-up is not glamorous.
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 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
Marriage isn't a carnival ride.
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
Karaoke is the great equalizer.
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.
