But I love stand-up, and it's where I came from creatively, so it's something I never want to walk away from.

On general principle, I boycott shows that don't employ actors.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
I've always been a gamer, and I had a period where I was gaming at a really hardcore level.

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
Image
I'm just myself, so I don't know that I think of myself as a nerd icon.
Aisha Tyler

Maybe the nails are a little stubby and gnawed on, but I definitely do not have man hands.

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 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.
