best good movies people seen time
I feel like every time I go out, I want to do a good job. I want people to say that he's just as good at stand-up as he is in some of the movies I've seen him in, so I try to do the best every time I go out there.
country great hispanic race
This country is just that great that the opportunities are there for a Hispanic president, a black president or any other race for a president, yes.
You know, we're missing so much as African-Americans and we should be concerned about what's going on in Africa.
dedication missed practiced summer three workouts
This summer I just practiced real hard. I was real dedicated. I don't think I missed two or three workouts this whole summer.
arms fight gonna jackie next says scene teach three
Jackie come to me and says, 'We gonna do a fight scene.' I said 'What?' He says 'We got to do a fight scene in the next scene. I have to teach you.' I say 'How you gonna teach me in three seconds?' ... What we did, we did the fight scene with our arms connected.
people problem
You see people waving. You dont see people having problems, with each other at least.
home cutting thinking
I like LA. LA is cool, but it ain't like home. Atlanta is home. All my friends are here, I grew up here. But LA is cool. Its more like a big office. Its work and you work, and you're meetin' people all the time, but its more like acquaintances than friends and stuff.I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.
teaching half asian
I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.
destiny stuff different
You got to control your own destiny. You got to keep writin different stuff. Keep switchin up and never do the same thin too many times.
fun work-out trying
Day-to-day life is a lot of work. I work a lot on stand-up stuff, and then day-to-day life and, you know, just living. It's always different. Try to work out, try to stay in shape, and try to have some fun.
two
I've been smokin' ever since I was two.
golf people three
I tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.
character home thinking
I think you've got to have a depth, a deeper depth to take stand-up into acting, but I think it really helps you as a stand-up to home into different characters and stuff easily.
acting stuff paint
I reenact everything. I love to paint a picture for my audience. I'm a lot like Richard Pryor in that aspect. I do a lot of acting on stage, acting out and visualizing stuff. I love to do that. I'm into it so much, it just comes out of me.
