For my first gig, I got $75. I could make money being funny, so I pursued it as a career and have turned it into a lucrative business.
Working with Bruce Willis makes my career authentic. I may not get an Oscar, but I worked with Bruce Willis. That matters more to me.
I'm not really struggling about my career. The struggles are in my personal life. I can't really pinpoint how long it took me to get where I'm at, and I didn't care how long it was going to take, because it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.
Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.
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.
