It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.

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.

All these teenagers tell us how much they want to grow up and then when they do they want to be young again.
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.

If you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.

I'm always thinking of stuff I just don't sit down and write it. I come up with material more as I go along if something funny happens, I'll make a note of it on my phone.

I have problems with YouTube and things like that, when you catch it mid production. If I'm doing a show and I'm working on a bit and someone's there with a phone, they record it and put it online - it's not the finished product.

If you're passionate about your work, it makes the people around you want to be involved too.
Wanda Sykes
Image
And then also I think it's harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike.
Wanda Sykes
Image
Whatever I talk about is what I'm interested in at the time. Politics are big with me. But right now being a mom is taking up most of my time... My act is more family-oriented than it is about politics.
Wanda Sykes
Image
Seriously, I don't need a gun. I'm easily annoyed. I would shoot people in my house that I invited over.
Wanda Sykes
Image
I'm really funny now.
Wanda Sykes
Image
Now, I think the people who are still doing stand-up are doing it because they love stand-up.
Wanda Sykes
Image
I have a well-balanced show. It's 50/50 on men/women, and also African-American/white writers, it's the same thing. I have four African-American writers, and four non-African-American writers.
Wanda Sykes
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If you feel like there's something out there that you're supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
