crazy shade tone
That's a sure sign someone is going crazy - when he refers to himself in the third person, talks in low tones, and walks around wearing shades all day!
want confession evidence
Women can have all the evidence but they still want the confession.
long way sense-of-humor
A sense of humor is great - it goes a long, long way in a marriage.
nice mean appreciate
I got love from my family. I don't really need love from a paper, you know what I mean? I can't get too happy because somebody said something nice about me. I appreciate it, but let's not get it twisted - this is not changing my life.
wife video rays
Just to be clear, Ray Rice was not fired for beating his wife. He was fired because a video of him beating his wife was released.
want plans
The only plan I have is to not do anything I don't want to do - and to never work just for money.
funny uncles humor
If you're black, you got to look at America a little bit different. You got to look at America like the uncle who paid for you to go to college, but who molested you.
funny women looks
If a woman tells you she's twenty and looks sixteen, she's twelve. If she tells you she's twenty-six and looks twenty-six, she's damn near fourty.
real names black
Black movies don't have real names, they have names like Barbershop. That's not a name, that's just a location.
attitude believe son
I was raised to believe that you had to do things better than white people in order to succeed. The old black shows were better than the white shows. The Jeffersons was a lot better. Good Times was way funnier. Sanford and Son. Now, though, everyone thinks we're equal, so we submit the same s... that everyone else submits. And then we get mad when they won't air it. You got to go back to the old attitude of it has to be twice as good.
years comedian albums
I never wanted to churn it out. Comedians tend to work all the time. They never put it down like musicians who might make an album then take three or four years off to recharge their batteries. Comedians tend to work straight through and they get stale because of that. Even when I didn't have a lot of money I never ever did it unless I had something new to say.
writing two trying
I never really write the jokes. I just sit down over a week or two and try to figure out what I want to talk about. Once I narrow that down, then I start working on the material, like "How do I make this stuff funny?"
comedian black trying
Black comics, they only watch Black comedians. You're a comedian; you're not just a Black comedian. You're a comedian. I try to get that through to everybody.
girl dad great-relationship
I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day.
