You can't hold me to the same standard as the president or a school teacher. I'm just a comedian. My job is like Archie Bunker.
I love 30 Rock because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.
Young stand-ups, we ought to do comedy in George Carlin's spirit, in Richard Pryor's spirit, in Jackie Gleason's spirit, in Lucille Ball's spirit, because they did it with the spirit.
Live every week like it's shark week.
What am I afraid of? The IRS. Thats it. I dont want those people knockin on my door, man.
I can't watch American Idol... it's like karaoke without the booze.
George Carlin is an influence on a generation. He made me want to do comedy.
Comedy clubs are sacred ground. That's where anything goes.
I would love to try action films.
What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.
Everything I talk about in stand-up is my experiences as an American, as a father, as a husband, as a black man, as a human being.
If I don't offend somebody, then I'm probably not funny.
I'm a big, big movie fan. I watch 'The Ten Commandments' and the original 'Planet of the Apes' every night.
I was like any other inner-city kid with a chip on his shoulder because his daddy and his mommy wasn't together.
