Why don't you click your heels three times and go back to Africa.
New white people, you can't scare these white people, I tried.
I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?
I just always loved stand-up. It's like magic. You say something, and a whole room full of people laughs together. Say something else, they laugh again. The fact that people come to see that and participate in that... I don't know, it's just like magic.
I'm famous today. People like me today. Might not like me tomorrow. You can't count on it.
No one wants to get their ass beat to a soundtrack.

Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make.

Listen, here it is: Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work.
Because I was surrounded by so much negativity at some point that it took me going back and doing stand-up to realize, you know, people really like me.
I don't do drugs, though. Just weed.
