My daughter was a beautiful child.
I don't ever watch myself. By watching, you try to perfect yourself, become a robot.
It's a pleasure to work with someone who is just as strong as you are.
It was rough being dark. I got heat from my own people more than anyone else. I remember going to my mom and saying, 'Why am I so black?' And she said, 'Because I'm black. You just gotta always work harder than the average bear.'
I don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
When I hit my 20s, I struggled to make it. I got married at 19, and my daughter, Je'Niece, was born a year later. I worked blue collar jobs during the day and comedy clubs at night, and I was earning about $25 a year doing stand-up.
