I feel that in-person contact with people is the most important thing in comedy. While I'm up on stage, I can actually put myself into the audience and adjust my pace and tuning to them. I can get into their heads through their ears and through their eyes. Only through this total communication can I really achieve what I'm trying to do.

I was'nt always black. there was this freckel that just grew and grew.

My wife and I have five children and the reason why we have five children is because we do not want six.

My father established our relationship when I was seven years old. He looked at me and said, “You know, I brought you in this world, and I can take you out. And it don't make no difference to me, I'll make another one look just like you.

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His kids.

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home.

Grandparents are God's gifts to children.
