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.

We got no wealthy black people. We got rich people. Shaq is rich. The guy who signs his checks is wealthy.

No matter what kind of backgrounds two men are from, if you go, 'Hey, man, women are crazy,' you've got a friend.

The thing that surprised me the most is just how much money women that weren't rich were paying for their hair. When you're in a beauty parlor in Harlem next to abandoned buildings and somebody's paying five grand for a weave, that's a bit much. I think this is, in a weird way, part of the health care debate. It's like, hmm, there's people with $2000 weaves that could have bought health care with that weave money.

I'm never proper or careful, but I never curse in front of my mother, either.

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.

When you make drama you are like Picasso. Drama is whatever you want it to be.
