Wanda Sykes
Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.

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
In '87, I used to do this awful, awful James Brown impression.
Wanda Sykes
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
I was funny around my family. My family, they're pretty funny, too.
Wanda Sykes

I really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.
Wanda Sykes
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.
