people trying comedy
I don't like forcing comedy and people just trying to do things just to find a funny beat all the time.
character trying want
I try to always step up to the plate, be professional, be good at what I'm doing and deliver on the character. In Hollywood, what more can you ask for. You want a consummate professional.
people trying shows
I just try to get along with people and show the love that I would like to be shown to me.
heart trying might
For me [in my stand-ups] I do what is from the heart. I do what I relate to, what I can talk about, things that I can define. I don't try to talk about things just because they might be a popular subject. I talk about things I know about.
enjoy popcorn
Enjoy your popcorn and enjoy the jokes. It's just a movie, so have fun!
believe challenged comedy concert director five life played point successful television villain
Nobody's ever challenged me and tapped into what I can do. I ain't played a villain which I believe I can do and do real well. There hasn't been any director who has been able to challenge me to go there. At this point in my life I've done a lot of things from stand-up to my own television show for five years to successful comedy shows, and concert films.
meat
To each his own. You like what you like. If you want someone who's big-boned and you like that, ain't nothing wrong with having a little extra meat on there. If you like them thin-boned, then that's okay, too.

brings favorite good listen means memories
I was a B.I.G. fan. I like all of his stuff. I don't really have a favorite song. They all are good, and each brings different memories to me. And you can still listen to it to this day and it means something.
mother real bigs
Everybody has a Big Momma: the mother or the grandmother who tells it like it is, keeps it real with them, isn't afraid to tell you the truth about yourself.
sticks film follow-me
My audience is a diehard audience. They are dedicated. My audience always follows me and sticks with me. They're the reason I'm still here - in the films and in stand-ups.
fun voice people
It's always fun to be able to have a voice, because it helps me to stay in tune with the project and the people that I am working with. Ther's nothing worse than being on a project and not being able to have a voice. I don't like that.
inspiring fall wheels
Life- ride it until the wheels fall off.
together my-family meaning-of-love
We grew to know the meaning of love. That is what allowed me and my family to stay close together.
