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.
Chris TuckerSo 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.
Chris TuckerI reenact everything. I love to paint a picture for my audience. I'm a lot like Richard Pryor in that aspect. I do a lot of acting on stage, acting out and visualizing stuff. I love to do that. I'm into it so much, it just comes out of me.
Chris TuckerA lot of lines in movies were written, but I'm always improvising. Once you get into the scene, it just comes to me.
Chris TuckerIn 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.
