It wasn't until I became more confident with myself and I put myself forward instead of the jokes; at first it was put the jokes out there and I'm just behind the jokes.

Once you start making money, you can be an ass. But I am not an ass. I'm too lazy, that takes a lot of energy.

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 think it's because my comedy is in your face, and it comes from a place that's real.

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.

I was funny around my family. My family, they're pretty funny, too.

Being gay is harder than being black. I didn't have to come out black. I didn't have to tell my parents about what its like to be black.
