I do think the strategy of Trump, and now the Republican Party, is to eviscerate the idea of objective truth.
I don't think objectively we are in a tech bubble when tech stocks are at a 30 year low.
I think perfect objectivity is an unrealistic goal; fairness, however, is not.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
I think black women feel an obligatory pressure to be stronger than everybody else, not necessarily to suppress the pain.
Quite often, I will do something and think, 'Oh, no, she looks a little too much like me.' I have tried to learn not to be afraid of that when that happens. I am not trying to obliterate myself and completely hide within the images like I used to.
I think you can be smart and directed and focused, without being obnoxious, and get plenty done.
I think you could split my fans up just like any other guy's fans. Some of them are cool, and some of them are obnoxious. But it's the variety that makes it great.
Love is - OK, it's 20 things, but it isn't 19. And I think that love reaches for something which is very, very deep in us and is very easily obscured, and is also very easily denied, which is the instinct towards the other person, other than toward the self.
I think that often my work is obscured by my gender identity.

Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can't really understand why it doesn't obsess everyone - I think it does really, I'm just a little more out about it.
With roasting, you've really got to bring your A-game. I hate to admit it, but I probably think and obsess more about the roasts than my own series. Because there's so much attention focused on the roasts. It's like the 'Super Bowl' of comedy. Everybody is going to talk about it. Forever.
I think sometimes we seem to obsess on negativity.
I think everybody has something that they've been obsessed about in their lifetime.
I have such love to the point of obsessions of people and their minds, and I'm constantly trying to find the beauty in things, and I think people are such unique and complex creatures.
