Every black American is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak 'job interview.'

I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.

I got a lot of positive people around me.

I always take a relationship to the next level. If that works out, I take it to the next level after that, until I finally reach that level when it becomes absolutely necessary for me to leave.

With younger people I'm recognized with always Half-Baked, Blue Streak because it's on cable. Women, it's always You've Got Mail. Nutty Professor is pretty much everybody across the board. It seems like they like that one.

After a while, a joke, if you say it too much, just becomes contrived, or fake-sounding.

My father told me 'Name your price in the beginning. If it ever gets more expensive than the price you name, get out of there.'
