More quotes by Wanda Sykes
Some black people want to get in touch with their African roots. But then you got some black people that just don't give a damn. You tell them, 'Hey, I just got back from the motherland.' They're like, 'Where'd you go - Detroit? Did you see The Temptations?'

Wanda Sykes
It's easier to rip somebody to shreds while you're making them laugh.
Wanda Sykes
It's hard to get fired from the government. You have to, like, kill people.

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
But sometimes the women writers will pitch something and I'll hear it, but the men will keep talking.
