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.

I 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.

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

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 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.

I love traveling. It not only opens my mind up, but it also allows me to use my fame in another way through humanitarian works and stuff, and being an influence around the world.

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.
