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
I always tell people that if you really want to know somebody, they should listen to that person's interview with me. I spend a lot of time with my guests.
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 liked comedy, but didn't know it was something you could do for a living. I actually wanted to be an attorney.
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
On general principle, I boycott shows that don't employ actors.
