I'm not a child star, but you could say that I've grown up on TV. I went from being an unknown, down-and-out comic from Brooklyn and the Bronx to being a regular character on a major network comedy called 'Martin.' From there I went on to become the most notable black comic on 'Saturday Night Live' since Eddie Murphy.
Because Eddie [Murphy] came from where I come from, the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. People in the projects used to call me Fat Murphy.
I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, and I consider myself lucky and blessed to be where I am - just working.
I'm no Jerry Seinfeld. I wasn't raised with some backyard with a creek and trees and all that.
I want to show the world my humor.
I mellowed out; my daughter mellowed me out, and I don't get mad at anyone.
I'm not getting any younger. You're not getting any younger, so yeah. You age.
I'm a black man in America, so I'm going to be misunderstood.
I love working with Alec Baldwin. He's one of the five greatest actors ever to live.
I've gone through my trials and tribulations, and sure, it's gotten bumpy and all that, but I'm here. OK?
I've got friends who want money but don't want to do anything to earn it.
No matter what, if my son was gay, I'd treat him like a king.
The version of me you see on TV now and in my feature films is a pretty happy guy, isn't he?
There's nothing wrong with looking at a woman's kneecaps.
