I'm going to leave The Wanda Sykes Show and try to get her job because $5 million ain't too bad!
As a comedian I don't think they look at me as a sexual person but I can see where with actors it would be a little difficult for them because its part of their mystique, it gives them an easier time to change characters and people aren't going oh we have a gay actor, their gay so I don't know if I'm gunna buy this guy with this girl, its weird, I don't think it's fair; it's only done with us, it seems, like they just accept everyone as straight and go along with it and then its oh their gay and make a big deal out of it.
Ok so there's no TV shows, no movies going on fine, but I love going on stage and performing stand up so my situation is a little better than someone who's strictly just an actor or actress.
Whatever I talk about is what I'm interested in at the time. Politics are big with me. But right now being a mom is taking up most of my time... My act is more family-oriented than it is about politics.
Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.
I always want to go back and do stand-up; I like the freedom.
But I think funny and talent will always win out; I mean, of course there are hurdles, but I think if you're funny you will get over all of that.
I feel today's society is so judgmental.
I have a funny family, but none of them are remotely in show business.
My worlds collide. When one things happens, it just starts a domino effect - everything else goes on.
People say, 'Well don't you regret not having kids?' And I go, 'No, not really.' And then if they keep asking, I always say this, 'Well, you know, maybe I'll adopt.' But I don't mean that. It's just something I say to make me sound like a nicer person.
And then also I think it's harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike.
