Wanda Sykes
Since when did I become the spokesperson for nappy-headed hos?
Wanda Sykes
Once you start making money, you can be an ass. But I am not an ass. I'm too lazy, that takes a lot of energy.
Wanda Sykes
When I am outside at night by myself every person turns into a pedophile. So I tend to walk a little faster than usual and then I sprint.
Wanda Sykes
I think it's because my comedy is in your face, and it comes from a place that's real.
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
Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science.
Wanda Sykes
I'm finally just relaxed and comfortable with who I am.
Wanda Sykes
I was funny around my family. My family, they're pretty funny, too.
Wanda Sykes
I watched a lot of comedy growing up.
Wanda Sykes
Ok so there's no TV shows, no movies going on fine, but I love going on stage and performing stand up so my situation is a little better than someone who's strictly just an actor or actress.
