It's much more fun to share and laugh at the bad times and the frustrations. I find you get a much deeper connection with the audience that way.
Oh, what's this in my shoe? Red carpet insole. Everywhere I go, I'm walking on red carpet.
I like going out and I like being single, but a growing part of me would rather just stay home, cook food with someone I really like, and do nothing.
Do you realize how much better the world would be if we all just treated each other the same way black dudes treat magicians?
Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot.
I went to a place recently I think is one of the most f**ked up places I've ever been to. I'm convinced this place is the epitome of American excess, of American greed. I'm talking about a place called Cold Stone Creamery. Whoa. If you have not been there, the basic gist of Cold Stone is that they take ice cream and then they just go ape sh*t with it.
One of the big things I miss about New York is not my friends so much; it's Shake Shack, the burger place. I miss Shake Shack.
Regardless of your ethnicity or anything, if you do great work, people will notice and you'll get hired.
I'm an optimist - I feel like an amazing part of life is that at any moment.
I just didn’t want to be pigeonholed as an 'ethnic comic' or an 'Asian comic.' I just wanted to be on the same playing field as everyone else.
When I'm dating someone, I have a list called my 'Oh No Nos.' If a woman commits a Oh No No, it can end the relationship. Not loving '90s R&B music is #3 on the Oh No Nos list. Girl don't even know who Ginuwine is.
I have no interest in art. Let me clarify — I have no interest in non-nude images.
Like with 'Parks and Recreation,' it's so much fun because the people writing it are funny and they're open and you just go in there and have a good time. It's pretty much the easiest job I've ever had.
It's hard to really get that excited about movies. Think about it like this: how many good comedy movies come out a year? Maybe one or two? And then, in those movies, what are the chances that there's a character that I'm the best fit to play? It's really small!
