You know the world is messed up when the tallest man in the NBA is Chinese, the best golfer is black, and the best rapper is white.

Carol Leifer is funny, really funny.

If you live with a single parent, you don't see compromise. You witness a grown person living in a world where they do what they want to do. When you are raised by two parents, you are constantly watching compromise take place. Just by observing that, it made me a better person.

I was raised to believe that you had to do things better than white people in order to succeed. The old black shows were better than the white shows. "The Jeffersons" (1975) was a lot better. "Good Times" (1974) was way funnier. "Sanford and Son" (1972). Now, though, everyone thinks we're equal, so we submit the same shit that everyone else submits. And then we get mad when they won't air it. You got to go back to the old attitude of it has to be twice as good.

I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day.

When you're doing a big-budget movie and you're four on the call sheet, you've got a lot of free time.

Give me a black man, a white woman, a giraffe, a zebra anything but another white man! That last one f***ed up my roof!
