Aisha Tyler

I started out being a stand up and writing my own material. That took me to 'Talk Soup,' where I was writing and performing for TV.

I've always been an outsider.

You rarely see women being nice to each other on television anymore.

I'm black, and black don't crack. It does droop.

Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don't think so.

There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.

The whole principle of coming out is that everyone knows someone who's gay. The minute someone comes out, no one can be a bigot, because someone they love is gay.

It's very hard when you love someone very much to also start to realize that maybe you want different things for your lives.

I really love being busy because I am - feel like I am at my best when I am busy.

I love fashion, and I love how it makes me feel, but it doesn't rule my life.

My goal is definitely to direct features - action movies, that's my favorite genre. So I would love to do the 'Halo' movie.

I was born in California, raised a vegetarian, and love science fiction, so don't tell me how I need to be in order to fit your standards.
