There's times when I'm really shy, so these roles that I get to play, they're how I would love to really be. And that's why I love doing stand-up, because it gives me the freedom to say what I really want to say. I think that's why it's my favorite thing to do.

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

In '87, I used to do this awful, awful James Brown impression.

I always want to go back and do stand-up; I like the freedom.

My worlds collide. When one things happens, it just starts a domino effect - everything else goes on.

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