I have never been a 'hair person.' Growing up, my mom and my sister, who loved to get their hair done, would always give me a hard time about not getting mine done.

There are a lot of podcasters that are females of color. And I think that we should be allowed to tell a very specific kind of story. And if you don't like it, you don't like it. But if you do, enjoy the tea! Sip that tea.

I don't really like conflict at all, and I really find conflict pretty devastating. I try to avoid it at all costs.

I focused on my career. I grew up super Christian, both my parents are ministers, so I did a purity ceremony when I was a teenager.

Me and Cate Blanchett have the same job, technically.

It's impossible to be perfect, and you won't do a good job if you're too focused on proving yourself to others.

Some days I'll be like, 'I didn't do anything great today,' and I'll be bummed. And some days I'll wake up, and I'm like, 'I am the dopest woman to exist on Earth'.

My favorite place in the world is the Harry Potter tour near London.

Ultimately, when I deliver something, a lot of times it will be from a black woman's perspective, but other times it will be just from a satirical, goofy perspective.

There's something missing in all this new new media craziness, and that is something that uses celebrity news as a way to get into a really serious analysis of our culture.

I think when you're a tall girl, you feel a little bit like an outcast. You have to go to the back of the photo. You're taller than all the boys. I know I felt more like an outsider. And then as I got older, I just got used to it. I got like, 'I don't date under 6 feet.' That's my policy.

I'm a young person; sometimes I'm political, sometimes I'm not.
