I was born with the confidence of an 89-year-old man. So it's strange when people ask, 'What's it like being a female comedian?' It never occurred to me that I'd be limited as a woman - that I couldn't be a scientist, a doctor, or anything I wanted.

Growing up, I loved comedy even before I knew that you could be a stand-up comedian.

Why would you watch an Oscar-nominated film unless you're mad enough to purposely experience feelings? Bleh. I'm not interested in catching those.

I'm a single mother. It's silly to turn down work.

The beautiful thing about comedy in the U.K. is that it has a clever twist to it, and when you really break it down, the joke isn't filthy at all: it's clever.

All I've ever wanted to be is a strong, powerful, beautiful black woman.

People who like my stuff and know what my agenda is have never mistaken me for being racist or poking fun at the wrong thing.
