It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.

We never hid anything from the kids. I feel whole again, I really do. I've told them, 'Mommy's boo-boo is much better now.'

Since when did I become the spokesperson for nappy-headed hos?

Should I talk about [having breast cancer]? Because how many things could I have? You know black, lesbian - I'm like, I can't be the poster child for everything. At least with the LGBT issues we get a parade and a float and it's a party.

A woman would pitch a joke. Nothing. Then a guy would pitch it and everybody would laugh.

What drives the creative person is that we see it all.

Whatever I talk about is what I'm interested in at the time. Politics are big with me. But right now being a mom is taking up most of my time... My act is more family-oriented than it is about politics.
