You got to control your own destiny. You got to keep writin different stuff. Keep switchin up and never do the same thin too many times.

When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.

I think my life is a movie and your life reflects your work.

Georgia was a great place to live, but I wanted to get out because I knew the opportunities for what I was doing - stand-up comedy and eventually acting - were in Los Angeles.

I think all the knowledge and all the travels that I've done, I'm going to do a lot of great work in the future.

I tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.

I feel like every time I go out I want to do a good job. I want people to say that he's just as good at stand-up as he is in some of the movies I've seen him in, so I try to do the best every time I go out there.
