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.

Ralph Nader has slavery reparations on his platform, which makes me think he's not serious. If he thought he could win he wouldn't even say that.

Jerry Seinfeld, he was doing Letterman show all the time, so he kind of had an excuse, that people know the jokes already. He didn't have time to do stand-up. A guy like me, I have no excuses.

The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching.

For one year, I want to do this thing where I guest-star on as many television shows as I possibly can. I love television. The fact that television ultimately made me famous was very gratifying for me.

People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.

Why don't you click your heels three times and go back to Africa.
