Jessica Williams Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jessica Williams:

A lot of the time, black people, we don't introduce ourselves as black.

There's milk-and-cookies Grandma, and there's Colt 45 and Atlantic City Grandma. She was the latter.

Jessica Williams

When I wake up in night sweats, that's what I'm thinking about: what if someone grabs me from my past and says, 'I heard you drag me to filth on your podcast.'

Jessica Williams

I was doing a college show for the first time, and there was this 20-year-old gay male who's been diabetic his entire life. He said, 'I really wanna get into stand-up.' I was like, 'Oh, my God, do you realize how interesting and inherently funny you are? Go do all the comedy that you wanna do.' I care about that.

Jessica Williams

I live in Brooklyn, and there's so many interracial couples in Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, you don't talk about race like that.

Jessica Williams

'Sex and the City' didn't change the show because it was an international sensation. They kept it in New York.

Jessica Williams

I think great comedy comes from the oppressed. It comes from feeling like you've gotten punched up in a way.

Jessica Williams

Post-'Daily Show' has been so busy, which I've been surprised about. We're basically independent contractors in a way. So you have one gig, and you're worried about never getting another gig again, or at least I do.

Jessica Williams

Every day when I wake up, I check Instagram.

Jessica Williams

That's how me and my friends are. We love our personal relationships, but we have things we want to accomplish.

We're all trying to catch up with Beyonce. We're all running a race, and Beyonce is up there, and we're all just trying to run and get there. That's my motivation.

Jessica Williams

My parents have always been very supportive.

Jessica Williams

Oftentimes, as women and women of color, we are put as supporting characters in other people's narratives. With 'Jessica James', she is the star of her own narrative.

Jessica Williams

I'm not walking around feeling black all the time. That would stress me out. It would make me crack.

Jessica Williams

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.

Jessica Williams

I'm six feet tall. No one realizes that because on 'The Daily Show' I'm usually sitting.

Jessica Williams

I feel like acting is sort of like that: You're getting so many 'no's all the time. It's just a bunch of no's and a couple of cool yes's. And especially with comedy, too, when you're up on stage, doing live shows, you get immediate yes's or no's.

Jessica Williams

Oh, I'm obsessed with the Kardashians. Not the way that I think a 13- or 14-year-old girl would be, but I find them fascinating. They are so rich. They are also, at the end of the day, women of color.

Jessica Williams

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

Jessica Williams

Acting-wise, I love Helena Bonham Carter. I love Kate Winslet. I love Angelina Jolie when she was 'Girl, Interrupted' Angelina Jolie. There isn't anybody that I can definitely point to and be like her. Because I've never felt like I've been able to relate to the women that are famous.

Jessica Williams

I'm a young correspondent, so sometimes I'm just young. Sometimes I'm just straightforward.

Height has been very, very central to the development of my personality.

I look for a man who respects my womanhood and doesn't make me feel like I have to be a stereotype. Like a housewife.

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

Jessica Williams

I think people have a lot of layers. I know I do in particular.

I loved doing 'Frisky Business.' I didn't come up with it. I think John Oliver and the writers did.

Jessica Williams

Don't try to fix anyone, especially not a dude. They're not going to change.

Jessica Williams

I enjoy romantic comedies in general. I like them when they're bad, I like when they're good.

Jessica Williams

I feel like now is great time for a rom-com because the genre is sort of being opened up to being told by people that look different from each other or who have different orientations.

Jessica Williams

I live in Brooklyn; I live in Clinton Hill. I love it there.

Jessica Williams

I want to write and direct and kind of do my own thing.

Jessica Williams

I really like when different stories are represented, it's not just the same kind of person, and when there's humor in it, and there's relationships.

Jessica Williams

Sometimes, you feel like, 'Am I going to be upset about this as a black person or as a woman first? Or am I gonna be both?' Because some things inherently affect black women; some things affect you as a woman and not a black person; and some things just affect you as a black person.

Jessica Williams

Some of the best comedies now are led by women who are very involved: 'Parks and Recreation.' 'Veep's' incredible. I love 'Girls.'

The last thing I do before bed is think I should take my contacts out. Then I fall asleep.
