More quotes by Wanda Sykes
I'm really funny now.
Wanda Sykes
People say, 'Well don't you regret not having kids?' And I go, 'No, not really.' And then if they keep asking, I always say this, 'Well, you know, maybe I'll adopt.' But I don't mean that. It's just something I say to make me sound like a nicer person.
Wanda Sykes
It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.
Wanda Sykes
If something stinks, I say it stinks. But I try to massage it a little and not be as cutting, come behind it with a joke: Hey, I cut you deep, but now let me put a couple of stitches in you.
Wanda Sykes
I don’t understand why people really get upset about something that doesn’t affect them at all.
Wanda Sykes
It's not until you develop your own voice, your own persona onstage that you become your own comic, who you really are.
Wanda Sykes
I sat down and wrote some jokes and went to the talent show, got up on stage, fell in love with it and never turned back.
Wanda Sykes
I noticed recently, in the last few shows I did, that I'm starting to get people - not a large group, but quite a few people - who come to see me because they love Curb Your Enthusiasm.
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
That word sassy - it haunts me. I keep getting the sassy thing.
Wanda Sykes
But I think funny and talent will always win out I mean, of course there are hurdles, but I think if you're funny you will get over all of that.
Wanda Sykes
I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a waterboarding, that's what he needs.
Wanda Sykes
It's hard to get fired from the government. You have to, like, kill people.
Wanda Sykes
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
I feel today's society is so judgmental.
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
A woman would pitch a joke. Nothing. Then a guy would pitch it and everybody would laugh.
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
I don't like doing the same material over and over again. It's not fun.
Wanda Sykes
When life gives you lemons don't make lemonade, make pink lemonade. Be unique.
