When it comes to raising children, I believe in give and take. I give orders and they take 'em.

I have so much respect for what's funny.

Why I was so intrigued with Red Skelton was because he was able to make you cry and laugh and the same time. That was power.

I love my daughter, but there's a certain feeling, a certain emotion when you got a granddaughter, you know?

I want to have fun. Life ain't no dress rehearsal. I want to have fun. I'm a comedian; I ain't no politician. So everything I do is with humor, with love.

The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of.

I don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
