Hey hey hey, smoke weed everyday
I don't really frick with Africa cause people are starving to death and that's not ballin' to me.
Most people don't know what it's like to stand up there and speak their mind. I have a venue to do that. I get paid to do that. It's not like I'm doing heavy lifting up there. It's not like I'm solving the world's problems. It's like I'm hanging out with a bunch of people and it's cool.
The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.
My father told me 'Name your price in the beginning. If it ever gets more expensive than the price you name, get out of there.'
You got to be careful of the company you keep.
I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive.
Chivalry is dead. Women killed it.
No matter how old you are, if a little kid hands you a toy phone... you answer it.
I don't want anything bad to happen to the United States, but if North Korea ever drops a nuclear bomb on this country, I swear to God I hope it lands in Hartford, Connecticut.
Every black American is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak 'job interview.'
You know, be able to do something great in your life, you're gonna have to realize your failures. You're gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it.
Why is Dave Chappelle going to Africa? Why does Mariah Carey make a hundred-million dollar deal and take her clothes off on TRL? A weak person can not get here and talk to you. Ain't no weak people talking to you. So what is happening in Hollywood? Nobody knows! The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. I don't understand this person, so they're crazy. That's bullshit. These people are not crazy, they're strong people. Maybe the environment is a little sick.
