Comedian

Black women know that we've got to take care of it - so we take care of it. It's just embedded in us.

It is harder to dress a bigger woman no matter what anybody wants to say.

Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.

I worked harder at my craft, and it took some time, but here I am today doing what I want to do, which is entertain people.

They're smart in Orange County. Smart and rich - just how I like 'em.

I love being a regular on 'Chelsea Lately!'

When you're a plus-sized girl, belts are your best friends. I also love bright colors and skirts, to show my pretty knees.

Now AOL is the grandma of online Web services. I mean, we don't need it anymore.

I will never say never, but I can tell you right now - I am perfectly happy with being who I am. I just - I really - I'm an entertainer, and the thing that I'd decided to work on was my career, and I decided the energy that I was putting in certain relationships - I was really kind of wasting my time, and I knew it.

I tend to be everybody's best friend, and it kind of goes over into my comedy.

I never wanted a traditional lifestyle. I'm not that kind of person.

I've seen Don Rickles up at the Montreal Comedy Festival. Don Rickles was doing jokes in a wheelchair, and he was headlining a show. Do you think they would let a woman do that?

That's a nice thing about being a topical standup: you can add in things to keep it fresh.

I am a seasoned performer.

I'll see something, and I'll go, 'Oh, wow, that's interesting,' because really, comedy comes from the truth.

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.

I'm what you call a satisfied single. I don't want to give any trip reports when I come home.

People say they get a warmness from me.

I am the funny, crazy person.

I did all this standup comedy in college, and from that point on, I tried to develop myself and get my name back out there.
