More quotes by 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
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.

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.
