People basically aren't that racist. They want their laughs. If I make a white guy laugh, he's gonna come see me. He's not gonna go see the white guy who doesn't make him laugh just because that guy is white.

Stand-up comedy is like the lowest medium in all of show business in levels of respect.

I think if I were to get as big as I could get, it does change your mind-state. I think like the little man. I think like the underdog. I don't want to change that.

I met so many people after I got rich and famous, and I learned that you can't ultimately trust people unless they were your friends when you were broke.

I want to really take chances. I want to be funny in a lot of different ways. I'd like to be great. I want to reach for greatness.

The thing about having an audience right there laughing is that critics can write what they want, but the proof is right there in front of you.

Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?
