I do a lot of stairs, a lot of planks, a lot of squats, a lot of treadmill, a lot of screaming - and I do it four times a week.
I don't think anything predated Christians.
I have so much hair; I have a separate wig closet in my house.
I've always been a strong believer that you were born with the hair you've got, but have the ability to get the hair you want.
I was homeless for a little bit. I was on people's couches, but it was an amazing journey. I got to make people laugh all the way.
The best piece of advice someone has ever given me was 'do it scared.' And no matter if you're scared, just go ahead and do it anyway because you might as well do it scared, so it will get done and you will feel so much better if you step out of your comfort zone.
My grandmother taught me that accomplishments meant less than what you left behind. I started to ask myself what impact my comedy would have on people's lives. And that changed my act. I got cleaner. I stopped talking about generic stuff like airplane peanuts and started speaking the truth about my gift.
Write yourself a permission slip to be surprised by someone's potential. Who knows? One day that person could be you.
Run towards that very thing that you fear, because there's amazing blessings on the other side.
I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and rose again, and that's my belief. I still don't know what 'Christian' means. I'm a follower of Christ, but I keep making a whole bunch of mistakes. And I thank God for forgiveness.
