A lot of lines in movies were written, but I'm always improvising. Once you get into the scene, it just comes to me.

What!? You tell people that, I won't get no more black movies?

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

I get on stage and talk about different stuff in my life and what I've been through and what I think about the world. It's picking out highlights of things and how I became who I am and how my daddy raised me.

I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.

I love to talk about people I've met being an entertainer. All my encounters in life - I roll it all into an hour and 30 minutes.

In stand-up you can go either way. It's live. Somebody might say something in the crowd, you might respond to it. But in a movie you could be spontaneous too. But you pretty much have to stick to that story or that scene or that script, but in stand-up you can go wherever you want to. It's more freedom.
