That's a gift God's given us: the ability to work together in collaborations.
When I want to work on my material, I go to Benihana or the barbershop.
So I think all comedians are earning their wings into heaven. We're all going to heaven, but everybody's not going to get their wings. Some people are just going to be regular angels. Doing cleanup, janitor work. In heaven, I'm going to sit on the couch with Oprah.
I want to be an example of a guy who made something of himself out of nothing. A guy who overcame the odds of a tough childhood, who worked hard, who didn't let his surroundings get the best of him and lead him to jail or the graveyard. Where I ended up - being a comedian, a TV star, and a movie actor - might be unique, but my story is not.
There's ups and downs of any job. If you worked at the post office, there's ups and downs. You have your good days, and you have your bad days. If you're a housewife, you have your good days, and you have your bad days.
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've still got family members living below the poverty line in New York.

I was never a big comic book fan. I was always more into the baseball cards.
Most creative thing I've ever done? Got somebody pregnant.

Of all the sicknesses, there is probably none more abusive than homophobia.
My heart is committed to giving everyone the same rights that I deserve for myself.
