I love pigs. I think they're very cute. I really want a pet pig, but those micro pigs, they don't stay micro.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would look people in the face and be like, 'Your snake cake's not good.'

My favorite thing from Dairy Queen is a Peanut Buster Parfait, which is: fudge at the bottom, vanilla ice cream, some peanuts, fudge, peanuts, ice cream, fudge, and it's layered. But I also really like peanut butter cups, so I'll put peanut butter cups in there.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again because you can't say it enough: Your skin is beautiful - dark, light, in the middle, whatever. Brown is beautiful. Your hair is beautiful. If you wear a weave, it's beautiful. If you choose to be natural, that's beautiful. Also, you are enough.

I've done a handful of voiceover and on-camera jobs where I've been asked to 'be blacker.' That's code for sassier, more ghetto, more neck rolls and snaps.

Dogs are very strange, but they're wonderful and they love to cuddle, and their breath is so stinky!

L.A. may be easy for the beautiful because it's the land of the beautiful.

I love therapy. I talk about it a lot because I feel like, especially among black people, it's stigmatized.

Talking-head shows are just a camera, a sound guy, and then a PA writing down what you say and a producer asking you questions. And you're just supposed to rephrase the question and add a joke to it. Figuring out how to do that was super hard.

I'm not conventionally beautiful, but what is beauty? Beauty is whatever you want it to be.

I perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, where my race and gender are rarely pointed out.
