I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds.

My wife asked me once if I weren't a comedian, what I would do. I couldn't answer the question. I never imagined doing anything else.

Constantly take inventory of what's important to you.

I have a very good life, a high quality of life. I have both money and time. No one has that.

I don't do drugs, though. Just weed.

Because I was surrounded by so much negativity at some point that it took me going back and doing stand-up to realize, you know, people really like me.

I just always loved stand-up. It's like magic. You say something, and a whole room full of people laughs together. Say something else, they laugh again. The fact that people come to see that and participate in that... I don't know, it's just like magic.
