People are so sensitive about race that they can't hear someone speaking about their life in a very true way, or doing satire or political parody.
White fragility! White people are so sensitive about race and racial conversations. I feel like I'm always walking on eggshells when I'm around white people.
Comedians and people in general have a cultural right to talk about their own culture and race.
I think white people like to tell Asian people how they should feel about race because they're too scared to tell black people.
I’m not playing the race card. I’m playing the rice card.
My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sexever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.
Grow up and let anyone try to contend with the adult you.
It's very hard for a woman in comedy. It's hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians.
It is tragic that people who are incarcerated are unable to vote. They are probably the most important voices to listen to because they can tell us what we need to change.
You don't need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there.
I didn't mean to be a role model. I just speak my truth. I guess speaking from your heart really creates a huge impact, and if I can encourage people to do that, then I would love to be a role model. If I could encourage people to use their voices loudly, then that's my reward.
This show is a lot funnier and more outrageous. There are lots more jokes.
It's very frustrating because we're always judging women on their appearance. It's so casual and never questioned. There needs to be somebody standing around and asking why this is still happening.
