I always tell people if you want to do something, go to a great comedy show. And that's what I try to do: give people a really good comedy show.
As a stand-up comic, you have to do the road.
People are getting picked up off the street and getting a show, and it's because we're not using the people that are trying to be entertainers - use more of them.
Everything that I've done on television has helped me to get the exposure that I need.
Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.
People say they get a warmness from me.
I never wanted a traditional lifestyle. I'm not that kind of person.
Being a female comic and getting a Comedy Central special is an honor because not a lot of women get that.
My material reaches everyone.
When we heard that little dial-up sound, that eeeeee, and then you connected, and you then go and you check your mail and you get that 'you got mail,' you were excited. I mean, that was the thing.
Now AOL is the grandma of online Web services. I mean, we don't need it anymore.
Life is funny, and that's why I celebrate it in my shows.
I just do jokes about real situations, pure observation.
Black women know that we've got to take care of it - so we take care of it. It's just embedded in us.
I started by doing a little funny story, and then I started going to open mics. I realized I had a lot of work to do - you have to get over the stage fright and get your stage presence up. It took me some time, but I finally feel that I'm at a point where I feel comfortable on stage and giving my point of view.
I do think the audiences have a right to judge what they feel is offensive and not.
I am the funny, crazy person.
Being a former engineer, you learn to always go back, study yourself, see what you could've done differently, see what you could've said.
I've been studying myself because I always want to improve.
