Wanda Sykes
I really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.
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
You know the economy is bad when illegals start complaining that Americans are taking their jobs.
Wanda Sykes
Since when did I become the spokesperson for nappy-headed hos?
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 work hard. The staff and crew see how much energy I put into this project, and it makes them step up.
