I got on the high school speech team and everyday I would get up in front of the class and just start talking.

Well, like I said, there's no reason everyone can't have a piece of the pie, even if there's a gordo there eating most of it.

As a comedian, especially one that works as much as I do, there is a lot of sacrifice. People don't see that I'm away from my family 46 weeks out of the year. I miss all the birthdays and anniversaries and holidays.

I have very nice cars. I never get to drive them, because I'm never home.

I remember seeing Eddie Murphy RAW and seeing people laughing and having a good time and that was the same response I was getting so I thought I was on to something.

My favorite people to have fun with are police officers 'cause they're so serious, you know.

When you hear "Seinfield," no one says, "the Jewish comic." You talk about Cedric the Entertainer, you don't say, "African American comedian Cedric the Entertainer." Even Margaret Cho - who's like one of three Korean performers out there - no one refers to her like that. They say, "It's Margaret Cho."
