Winners are the ones who want the most out of their opportunities.
Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn't just a director. He's potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have. That's what I mean when I say branding and developing yourself, as a business.
The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I'm in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.
I want to be funny, but it has to be a believable funny.
When you work hard and you treat people great, regardless of what it is that you're doing, naturally people want to help and do things.
I don't have to change anything. I think that's the secret to comedy. You want to be universal and appeal to everyone.
At the end of the day, I want to be part of the same conversation as Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.
Stand-up comedy is mine: it's my entity; it's my brand; I own it. I do it when I want to do it.
I never do anything that I don't want to do.
I'm a businessman as well as an entertainer. The reason why is because I want to own whatever I'm doing. I don't want to work for other people forever.
I don't want enemies. I want friends, and I want them in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and loving whoever they want to.
I don't see how people are comfortable with seeing other people be great. You can be happy for anybody, but what is your excuse to not want to be great? These people are great because they just say, 'I'ma do that,' and they do it. That's it. There's no scientifical process.
You don't want to pigeonhole yourself.
People want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you're going. They want to hear you talk about your family.
