Ali Wong Quotes
1. “I’m always asked how my husband is feeling about my success with a note of concern. He feels great. He’s a Harvard Business School graduate. He’s very smart and successful and always knew I was a genius.”
2. “I don’t want to lean in, OK? I want to lie down.”
3. “I’m half-Chinese and half-Vietnamese. And I love being Asian. But I don’t like being fetishized by creepy men who think that I’m a geisha or that I’m a nurse or that I’m a masseuse or that I’m a manicurist.”
4. “Women, a lot of the time, are so much funnier than men, but they just choose not to do comedy for a living.”
5. “My parents emphasized experiential learning – in my family, being adventurous was a sign of maturity.”
6. “I have a hoarding problem because my mom is from a third-world country. And she taught me that you can never throw away anything because you never know when a dictator is going to overtake the country and snatch all of your wealth.”
7. “The most valuable thing my dad taught me was to never care about what other people thought. When he came to my shows, and I’d announce his presence, he’d stand up with his hands clasped in victory and cheer my name.”
