Funny is an attitude.

Being your own man does not mean taking advantage of anyone else.

With all the trouble black people have, they try to forget on weekends. You've got to be good to make them laugh.

My show is my statement. What I have to say is on the screen. My life is my own. I don't want to talk about my private self. Why should I?

If I had my whole life to live over again, I don't think I'd have the strength.

It would be ridiculous for me to say anything negative regarding blacks having an equal opportunity on TV.

Funny is not a color. Being black is only good from the time you get from the curtain to the microphone.
