More quotes by Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes
When my parents send me emails the first 3 are blank.
Wanda Sykes
I'm like, If you do something dumb, I'll write about it. If you put something out there, to me it's like you're kind of asking for it.
Wanda Sykes
Seriously, I don't need a gun. I'm easily annoyed. I would shoot people in my house that I invited over.
Wanda Sykes
But sometimes the women writers will pitch something and I'll hear it, but the men will keep talking.
Wanda Sykes
I knew something was wrong with the economy when the shampoo girl at my salon closed on a six bedroom house.
Wanda Sykes
When life gives you lemons don't make lemonade, make pink lemonade. Be unique.
Wanda Sykes
I watched a lot of comedy growing up.
Wanda Sykes
When I'm not on T.V. or working on a movie, I'm on the road doing stand-up. That's my roots.
Wanda Sykes
