More quotes by 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
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
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 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.

Marriage is a mystery and part of it is just being kind to each other, not being selfish.
Aisha Tyler
They always say some women like to fix people. I don't like to fix people, but you like a challenge.

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
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
On general principle, I boycott shows that don't employ actors.
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.
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 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.
Aisha Tyler
I am absolutely a Giants fan and I'm a Dynasty baby so I was a 49ers fan for a long time.
Aisha Tyler
Nothing really worth having is easy to get. The hard-fought battles, the goals won with sacrifice, are the ones that matter.
Aisha Tyler
I spent most of my seventh grade summer dehydrated, green-tongued, and smelling like a Malaysian whorehouse.
Aisha Tyler
Comedy is ugly. It's honest, it's raw.
Aisha Tyler
Pop culture hales you and wants you to fail.
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
Every ethnic group has this where people within it will try and tell each other how they should be. So what I would say to other people is to just embrace who you are because you will become instantly happier.
