Issa Rae For GQ
Issa Rae covers GQ alongside Sarah Silverman and Kate McKinnon poking fun at Vanity Fair’s photoshop fail this month! Inside, Issa recreates some of our favorite BLACK 90’s show sitcoms and talks how she became the star of her own HBO produced show, Insecure.
“I had another friend of mine in mind and then she couldn’t do it. So I was like, ‘I’m running out of time. I’m just gonna do it myself’”
Speaking of Insecure, Issa speaks on being afraid of failure. Though Insecure has already had 2 successful seasons, “That could go to shit. This could be the worst season we’ve ever had. And then what? Then people are all of a sudden like, ‘Oh, okay.’ Then the calls stop. It’s like stand-up comedy: In order to eventually succeed, you have to bomb,” said Rae.
Though she can admit what scares her she’s aware of what her strengths are, “I feel like I’m emotionally intuitive. I sense and observe certain things about people. I try to pay attention to clues as much as possible.”
