I get some acting jobs. I like it other than the constant slipping in and out of character.

Why did God have to make Mo'Nique a good actress? What was God thinking when he decided to give Mo'Nique acting chops. Now we have to endure Mo'Nique comedy specials.
act believe deserves funny hierarchy late respect time
When I started out in the late '80s, my act was pretty terrible, and for years, I kind of toiled in obscurity. I don't believe in a hierarchy in comedy; I feel that a person deserves respect the first time they get onstage, and after that, they just have to be funny and get more consistent.
good maybe
If everything was good, maybe I wouldn't have a career. I wouldn't have anything to make fun of.
books life sold time
I've sold a lot of different product. Very briefly, I sold Time Life Books on the phone.
work
I've never been paid as a prognosticator. I don't get a lot of work as a mentalist.
given mind
I've given myself permission to say whatever's on my mind when I'm on stage.

I'm tired of demographic appeal being more important than talent. I want to fight against that.

I'm on a mission. If I can make even one person not enjoy something they're currently enjoying, it's all worth it!

I'm not trying to do anything except entertain America.
louis
I'm not really in Louis CK's circle. It'd probably be harder if we were really close and I went off on him.
albert best brooks director love received screenplay
I would like Albert Brooks to have received the Oscars for best actor, best director and best screenplay for 'Modern Romance.' I love that movie.
I will say that I wasn't susceptible to Tony Robbins-like pitches, even as a younger man.
jason
I wanted to like 'Up in the Air' - I like Jason Reitman - but Vera Farmiga left me cold.
