I don't like the saying keep your friends close and enemies closer. I want my enemy on a different planet.

The first time onstage, a light went on. 'OK, this is my thing. I'm comfortable here. This is my thing.'

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.

As a comedian I don't think they look at me as a sexual person but I can see where with actors it would be a little difficult for them because its part of their mystique, it gives them an easier time to change characters and people aren't going oh we have a gay actor, their gay so I don't know if I'm gunna buy this guy with this girl, its weird, I don't think it's fair; it's only done with us, it seems, like they just accept everyone as straight and go along with it and then its oh their gay and make a big deal out of it.

I'm a comedian so I'm not waiting around for someone to write a part for me. I don't have to wait for somebody else to create my next job; I have the ability to basically write my own ticket.

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

I'm going to leave The Wanda Sykes Show and try to get her job because $5 million ain't too bad!
