“If I did a talk show, this would allow me to speak on what's happening...” — Wanda Sykes Quote

“If I did a talk show, this would allow me to speak on what's happening at that moment. I can be current, and I get to flex my stand-up muscle but stay at home without doing the traveling.”

“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 really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.”

“I loved the writing process. I would love to write more. And I'd like to do a roundtable, like 'The View' or 'The Talk' - something related to social issues and things that are current.”

“The wonderful thing about television is the immediate impact of pictures of current events.”

“I try to be a good human being and keep up with what's going on in the world by reading and staying in touch with the current events.”
