I know Jonathan Van Ness from comedy, and he's got this wonderful show on Funny or Die called 'Gay of Thrones.'
Red Lobster reminds me of my dad because he would always get coupons and be like, 'We're going to treat ourselves.'
Making food is a labor of love - it's a nice thing to do for your loved ones to show you care about them, that you took the time to make them something. But for me, I don't cook. I would much rather hop in my car and go to a restaurant.
I love pigs. I think they're very cute. I really want a pet pig, but those micro pigs, they don't stay micro.
Talking-head shows are just a camera, a sound guy, and then a PA writing down what you say and a producer asking you questions. And you're just supposed to rephrase the question and add a joke to it. Figuring out how to do that was super hard.
I really like Beyonce. She's a perfectionist who works really hard on each and every performance.
I moved to New York and went to a performing arts college, but it wasn't until UCB that I started performing on the regular, figuring out how I'm funny, why I'm funny, and how to play with an audience.
I'm generally a positive person.
I don't preach body positivity - I'm just okay with the body I'm in and say, 'I love me, so you should love you.'
I love potato bread. It's so good.
What can cake teach you about life? That practice makes perfect, and if you try something once, it probably won't be perfect, and you have to keep working on it if you want to be good at it.
I would say I have more in common with drag queens than I do with most people.
My mom was like, 'You talk so much. You have too much energy. Why don't you just join the play or something?' It was a comedy, and I got laughs in rehearsal, but onstage, in front of a whole audience, I got a lot of laughs.
I'm not mean. I can't do a roast.
I've done a handful of voiceover and on-camera jobs where I've been asked to 'be blacker.' That's code for sassier, more ghetto, more neck rolls and snaps.
I am an archetype. There's the fat, sassy, black friend, you know? That's an archetype that exists, but that's not truly me.
I'm not sassy all day every day. I have levels and feelings.
People don't listen to each other anymore, and I think that's why people get offended or their feelings get hurt: because you're not actually listening to the person that's giving you signals they're upset.
I think we go through the world feeling alone and singular, and you forget that your one story is probably the same as millions of people's stories. Maybe with different specifics. But a lot of people experience the same things.
I think I saw 'Ghost' at, like, 6 or 7 - like, a little too early to see 'Ghost' - but I would watch Whoopi over any kids' thing. Everything she did was so funny, and all of her scenes are almost like sketches.
