A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.

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've actually tried to give Brett Ratner dance lessons, but he thinks he already knows how to.

I think you've got to have a depth, a deeper depth to take stand-up into acting, but I think it really helps you as a stand-up to home into different characters and stuff easily.

So I kept it to myself. Then some of my classmates started to come down to the comedy club, taking a girl out, and they started finding out I was a stand-up comedian.

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.

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