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.

I'm finally just relaxed and comfortable with who I am.

I had top-secret clearance and everything. I was working on a couple of projects that would keep me involved in Desert Storm. I was in the mix, which is scary.

I don't like doing the same material over and over again. It's not fun.

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

If you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.

I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked - our community was attacked. Now, I gotta get in their face. I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman. And I'm proud to be gay.
