More quotes by Wanda Sykes
I don't like doing the same material over and over again. It's not fun.
Wanda Sykes
There's times when I'm really shy, so these roles that I get to play, they're how I would love to really be. And that's why I love doing stand-up, because it gives me the freedom to say what I really want to say. I think that's why it's my favorite thing to do.
Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes
With a black president, I can relax... I can dance in public... I can buy a whole watermelon now.
Wanda Sykes
It wasn't until I became more confident with myself and I put myself forward instead of the jokes at first it was put the jokes out there and I'm just behind the jokes.
Wanda Sykes
Some government workers are dedicated and work hard, but most of them are just waiting to retire.
Wanda Sykes
I'm a comedian so I'm not waiting around for someone to write a part for me. I don't have to wait for somebody else to create my next job I have the ability to basically write my own ticket.
Wanda Sykes
When life gives you lemons don't make lemonade, make pink lemonade. Be unique.
Wanda Sykes
Being gay is harder than being black. I didn't have to come out black. I didn't have to tell my parents about what its like to be black.
Wanda Sykes
I work hard. The staff and crew see how much energy I put into this project, and it makes them step up.
Wanda Sykes
I'm going to leave The Wanda Sykes Show and try to get her job because $5 million ain't too bad!
Wanda Sykes
