“You men make up these rules, and now you get mad because I'm telling you what a real woman wants. She wants you to treat her like a lady if you want her to sit up there and put on all the lingerie!”

“Being a female comic and getting a Comedy Central special is an honor because not a lot of women get that.”

“I just do jokes about real situations, pure observation.”

“One of my dreams was to change the way women of color were seen on television.”

“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 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.”

“We provide comedy for everybody, no matter what your race or gender. We just want people to come out and have a really good time.”

“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.”

“There is nothing like a live performance. You can look at things on television, and you can look at things on YouTube, but when you get in a room full of people and you say one joke, and everyone's laughing at the same thing, it's a really great experience.”

“I have relationships. I date. But it takes a lot to say I'm going to be married and have children.”

“People say they get a warmness from me.”

“Life is funny, and that's why I celebrate it in my shows.”

“Being a former engineer, you learn to always go back, study yourself, see what you could've done differently, see what you could've said.”

“My material reaches everyone.”

“I don't want to get married - I've been there and done that. So I know what I'm talking about when I say that. And for everybody has a different path - find out your path! And if you want to do it, don't let people make you feel inadequate because you wanted to do something that's different.”

“People are getting picked up off the street and getting a show, and it's because we're not using the people that are trying to be entertainers - use more of them.”

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

“Anyone driving a 1992 Cutlass, take it back, because I built it.”

“I started by doing a little funny story, and then I started going to open mics. I realized I had a lot of work to do - you have to get over the stage fright and get your stage presence up. It took me some time, but I finally feel that I'm at a point where I feel comfortable on stage and giving my point of view.”

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