When I'm doing stand-up, it's just me depending on me. I know how to go out there and make people laugh. I've been doing it since I was a teenager. I trust my instincts. I just go out and talk. A lot of the time I let the material come from the top of my head.

I leave my house all the time! But I'm not at all the Hollywood parties. I'm grown, and where else am I supposed to be? I'm supposed to be home.

I don't think there's ever been someone with as much presence as Elvis Presley, I mean if he walked into a room I think everyone would be looking at only him. Even when he was dying and through all that when you looked at him it seemed all put together. It fascinates me.

Stevie Wonder is a musical genius !

I'm the artist when I'm doing music that I am when I'm acting. I'm everything.

I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.

I'm in a position that allows me to do what I want to do, and I do it.
