artist years two
So there's a cloud of rage around me, but being an artist kind of changes that. No matter what you thought coming in, what ignorant thing you believed, you're in show business for two years, you're like, "OK, I was wrong." It's hard to be mad at any particular group of people when you're an artist.
funny humor two
Two hours of sparkling entertainment spread out over a four-hour show.
jobs two president
If you're the president you only have two jobs: peace and money.
two parent world
If you live with a single parent, you don't see compromise. You witness a grown person living in a world where they do what they want to do. When you are raised by two parents, you are constantly watching compromise take place. Just by observing that, it made me a better person.
sex two laughing
The two best things you can do for a person is have sex or make them laugh.
crazy men two
No matter what kind of backgrounds two men are from, if you go, 'Hey, man, women are crazy,' you've got a friend.

There are people who would like to get rid of minimum wage. But we have to have it, because if we didn't some people would not get paid money. They would work all week for two loaves of bread and some Spam.

It was way ahead of its time. It's like this black guy with a bunch of money. He's funny, and he never lost his money. He was always a great businessman. I love that show.
based
The show is loosely based on my life,
approve comments cringe name
I should see every script, I should make my comments and approve of jokes. I can't cringe at a show that's got my name on it.
boy girls grassroots hard nice punch ready trying white
I think I'd be too hard on a boy -- every day, trying to make him a man, getting him ready for white people, ... Girls don't punch each other in the face. Girls are pretty nice to each other, even, like, on a grassroots level.
