I didn't have a brown-skinned superhero growing up who wore cornrows and who reflected the inner city where I come from in Philadelphia.

Growing up, I'd watch 'The Cosby Show' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air;' I'd look at the little brown girls and be inspired by them.

I cannot get away from 'Streets,' like, no matter what I do! That was my very first professional job.

Ultimately, my goal is to inspire little brown girls that look like me, that are sitting on the porch wearing cornrows.

I'm not an expert on the Malaysian sense of humor.

In Japan, you have no idea what they are saying, and they can't help you either. Nothing makes any sense. They're very polite, but you feel like a joke is being played on you the entire time you're there.

I've always just been attracted to comedy.

I was always self-conscious about the fact that I didn't have as much comedy experience as other people at 'SNL,' and I kept thinking they were going to realize they'd made a mistake by hiring me.
