My grandmother always told me how you start is how you finish.

Shut up before I drop yo ass off at Koreatown. Now hold on, America, don't start writing no letters. I'm just kidding. But am I lying?

I was in love with a lot of people, because I was a student of the game of comedy - Carol Burnett, Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles, Red Foxx, Moms Mabley - who gets no credit, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, George Kirby. I loved them all, and I used to just take a page out of all of them.

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

Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.

It took me a long time to get to where I'm at, in my career and as a man. I was going through my trials and tribulations in life, and it gave me the strength to tackle things that have come my way.

I'm not afraid to fail. Sometimes when you lose, you win. Sometimes when you win, you lose.
