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.

America...Do not touch my TV, my DVD, my stereo, my dual-deck VCR. Do not touch my old school, my new school, my slow jams, my party jams, my happy rap, and you better not touch...My James Brown.

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

Stand-up is what I am; stand-up is what made me.

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

I ain't running for office. I ain't running for nothing.

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.
