I remember meeting President Obama and looking at him, thinking, 'Damn, this dude is really our president. He really went out and did it!' If you look at stories like that, and other stories that I'm sure you could compare to, it's just about freeing your mind and taking those guards down.
As a kid, I was scared of losing my mind. In Terrell, Texas, where I grew up, there was a guy that would walk down the street talking to himself. And I used to watch him and feel uneasy. And there was a sanitarium where people would say, 'That's where all the crazy people go.' It really sort of frightened me.
It's so easy to play us guys that I hate to give away secrets to women because I know they'll use them. But OK, if you just simply don't give a guy the time of day, every once in awhile, it just makes us more like 'What do we do?' Men are developed to conquer. When we can't seem to conquer, we stay in it no matter what.
They trying to change the game on them, ... A lot of people have done movies in Miami, and movies in MIA are real bright. Movies in Miami are yellow and red and green. He's shooting a lot at night, trying to make it hot.
They got the boats blowing up, they blowing up buildings, ... They got people strapped with C-4. You got people lying in the middle of the street getting hit with Mack trucks. It's crazy.
They really want to say how horrible it was at the Superdome, about how horrible it was with the whole hurricane.
This is war. You've got to be ready at any point and time.
Some say that sex is overrated but they just ain't doin' it right!
So there is not a lot about me that you don't know other than that I play table tennis. I'm great, I'm great at table tennis! You will look at me and go, 'How does that dude know how to play that well?'
I think that music is two things. It's either in the club or in the bedroom.
Fortunately now, I may not be doing 'Booty Call 2,'
Stand-up is my heart and now I get a chance to do that and the music altogether. That's going to be great. I'm trying to be the Sammy Davis Jr. of 2005. I'm planning on going out with Cedric the Entertainer because he's got that musical bone, too.
Can I just tell you that I am having the ride of my life right now? I wish I could take what I'm feeling right now and put it in the water system, and we would all love each other a whole lot more.
I released an album then, and it didn't do anything. Everyone thought I was that funny dude.
