The black experience for me has been very interesting. Some days, I wake up, and I feel really black. Some days, I'm like, 'This is me. I'm black. Black Lives Matter. Black pride. Look at my cocoa skin.' I just feel it's my being.
The last thing I do before bed is think I should take my contacts out. Then I fall asleep.
There's truth in comedy, and that resonates with people of all races.
I think people have a lot of layers. I know I do in particular.
There's milk-and-cookies Grandma, and there's Colt 45 and Atlantic City Grandma. She was the latter.
I always feel like I'm warring with my womanhood and wanting the world to be better, and with my blackness - which is the opposite of whiteness.
I'm always battling how to be in a relationship while simultaneously maintaining my independence and my career.
I think we need to not speak over black women, not assign them labels.
Some days I'll be like, 'I didn't do anything great today,' and I'll be bummed. And some days I'll wake up, and I'm like, 'I am the dopest woman to exist on Earth'.
'Sex and the City' didn't change the show because it was an international sensation. They kept it in New York.
I want to write and direct and kind of do my own thing.
You don't have to be African American to really enjoy 'Frisky Business'. But as far as being black, a lot of people in New York have been stopped and frisked, so that hits home for them.
I'm a young correspondent, so sometimes I'm just young. Sometimes I'm just straightforward.
I first fell in love with comedy when I'd visit my granny as a kid. Trips to her house meant staying up late drinking Coca-Cola and watching 'Saturday Night Live'.
I'm six feet tall. No one realizes that because on 'The Daily Show' I'm usually sitting.
Basketball would have been the natural sport to play, but it's a little too aggressive for me, so instead I dabbled in volleyball and some good old-fashioned Roller Derby.
My favorite place in the world is the Harry Potter tour near London.
I think it's really progressive to talk about race in relationships. I think there is so much room for that, and there needs to be more of it.
I was always told that I acted too white. I was always told that I was going to date a white guy - which, in fairness, was true: I do have a white boyfriend. So they weren't entirely wrong, but all of those things were really damaging.
I read so much Harry Potter, that's, like, all I wanted to talk about. I watched stuff like 'Lizzie McGuire.' I watched things that were very mainstream but white, and I went to a predominately white school.
