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.

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

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.

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.

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

A black President? Now come on y'all, we got Clinton, that's close. He got negro tendencies.

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.
