More quotes by Wanda Sykes
I don’t understand why people really get upset about something that doesn’t affect them at all.
Wanda Sykes
I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight. Rush Limbaugh, 'I hope the country fails' - I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? ... He needs a waterboarding, that's what he needs.
Wanda Sykes
There are just so many more laws and rules that apply with marriage that do not come with domestic partnership and also to me it's the commitment.
Wanda Sykes
You know what, I think maybe it's because men like to fart, and the host wants to be able to sit in his writers' room and just pass gas freely. Me, I'm a lady. I'm dainty. I know to get up and leave the room and go to my office.
Wanda Sykes
It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.
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 like doing a bunch of different things, being all over the place.
Wanda Sykes
In '87, I used to do this awful, awful James Brown impression.
Wanda Sykes
Good comics stick around. There are people who have TV shows that might be successful, but comics can't really fake it. If you say, 'Hey, I love what you guys are doing - you're funny,' then you're in. It's legit.
Wanda Sykes
What gets me is when celebrities aren't allowed to have an opinion on anything political. There's the whole 'Shut up and sing' thing.
Wanda Sykes
I don't like doing the same material over and over again. It's not fun.
Wanda Sykes
But sometimes the women writers will pitch something and I'll hear it, but the men will keep talking.
Wanda Sykes
I'm finally just relaxed and comfortable with who I am.
Wanda Sykes
I watched a lot of comedy growing up.
Wanda Sykes
I think the worst one [indian mascot] is the Cleveland Indians' Big Chief Wahoo. It's just a red face on a baseball with a big, toothy grin. It's the Sambo of all other offensive mascots. I have never seen a Native American smile that hard before, not even at a casino opening.
Wanda Sykes
I watch Jay. I watch 'Letterman'. I flip back and forth between 'Conan' and 'Letterman', especially the top of the show for those guys.
Wanda Sykes
I feel today's society is so judgmental.
Wanda Sykes
I really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.
Wanda Sykes
And then also I think it's harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike.
Wanda Sykes
How can you stop people from loving each other? How can you get upset about loving?
Wanda Sykes
