A stand-up's job is to hold the mirror up to society and to look at what we're afraid of. That's why we had shows like 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons.' We made fun of ourselves then.
People walked out on Richard Pryor and he's the funniest man alive.
Martin Lawrence is one of my comedic heroes, and he's a genius.
Stand-up is mine. It's a part of me.
I think the word 'pregnant' is funny.
I see knowledge of self. I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.
Eddie [Murphy] is an icon. He's one of the reason why I started doing comedy in the beginning. He opened a lot of doors for black people.
I'm not afraid to move away from funny. I'm not afraid of that.
I just see myself as a short, dumpy guy with bad feet, and I'm passionate.
My father said: "If you want to catch your girl cheating, you knock on the front door and run to the back, because he's coming out the back."
Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets.
I can make people laugh at the drop of a dime. God's given me that ability.
I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.
I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.
