Wanda Sykes Loves Stand-Up: ‘That’s Where I Can Be Free,’ She Says
Sykes talks about coming out publicly at an LGBTQ rally, her double mastectomy, and her career before comedy – working for the National Security Agency. Her latest Netflix stand-up special, 'Not Normal,’ is nominated for two Emmys.
On what she likes about motherhood
“It takes you out of yourself. Just to be able to love something so much and want to be there and take care of them and not worry about yourself. It’s just good to know that I have that capability. … I thought I was so self-absorbed but, wow, look at me! Look at me parenting and being caring about something else other than myself! It’s just beautiful. I’ve learned a lot about myself. So I guess that is kind of like about me again. Damn it! I thought I had this!”
