I always want to go back and do stand-up; I like the freedom.
From Wanda Sykes
It's easier to rip somebody to shreds while you're making them laugh.
I watched a lot of comedy growing up.
I'm shy. I am. I mean, if I get around, you know, in a room of a bunch of people especially I - you know, I don't know or - it takes me a while to warm up. I'm - and the real me, I'm not as witty as, you know, as the comic Wanda. The comic, she's had time to work on some things.
I think it's because my comedy is in your face, and it comes from a place that's real.
Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.
I noticed recently, in the last few shows I did, that I'm starting to get people - not a large group, but quite a few people - who come to see me because they love Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I'm really funny now.
In '87, I used to do this awful, awful James Brown impression.
Back then, I was doing more of my impression of what a comic is supposed to do.
