It's impossible to be perfect, and you won't do a good job if you're too focused on proving yourself to others.
From Jessica Williams
I want to write and direct and kind of do my own thing.
As far as diversity's concerned, there's me, there's Al Madrigal, there's Aasif Mandvi. But I'm not walking around feeling black all the time. That would stress me out.
There's truth in comedy, and that resonates with people of all races.
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.
You can learn so much just by observing.
Get more confidence by doing things that excite and frighten you.
I'm a young correspondent, so sometimes I'm just young. Sometimes I'm just straightforward.
Ultimately, when I deliver something, a lot of times it will be from a black woman's perspective, but other times it will be just from a satirical, goofy perspective.
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'.
