I give [Barack Obama] a 10 [on a scale of 1 to 10] because he's not God, and he inherited a couple of wars, and a financial mess.I want to see him curse somebody out on TV. You can't finesse a bull. He's gotta throw down. He's in the shark tank.
I live life and I don't take it for granted.
I just want to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so that when I'm long gone my great-great-grandchildren can walk up to it and say, "That's my ancestor." That will be my legacy.
I love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.
I love Ice Cube and Charlie Day. They're brilliant men, great actors and very funny people.
Stand-up and comedy is the place where we are supposed to be able to make fun of all of the world's ills.
I'm not really much into politics, because it's rarely discussed in my line of work.
I never wanted the ha-ha-ha laughter [at my shows]. I always aimed for the gut. I always aimed for the pretty girls in the front row, laughing and leaning over and pooting.
Sometimes I think we're exposed to things we shouldn't be exposed to too early. I think that sets the tone to a person's whole life.
I'm very giving. Even if it's for nonsense, I'll give it to you.
Let's focus on the funny. ... That's what I'm focused on... This is the gift God gave me. That's what I want to touch in people.
I'm old, and so busy with work, that I like to just stay home and get my sleep now. I try not to burn both ends of the candle.
When I'm in the mood to listen to music, I do like to go to the SkyBar [ L.A.].
When I was a young kid, my pops introduced me to it. He took me to Harlem, 145th and Edgecombe, to watch the filming of Claudine with James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll. That was my first taste of seeing a set and the cameras, and I was bit by the acting bug at a young age.
