I'll walk up to a woman, I'll say the first thing that comes to mind: 'Hey, you hungry?'

I bought a Hummer before I bought a house, and then I bought a house. Every year, everything doubled. The work was doubling. The money was doubling. The popularity was doubling.

If i wouldn't have done comedy, I would have been a teacher. I was really good when I took an exploratory teaching class in high school, at getting kids' attention, and delivering lesson plans. Though my principal even told me that this was what I was meant to do. And that being a big-mouth comedian was a waste of time.

As far as guys who perform onstage, I love Chris Rock. I'm kind of jaded on everyone else.

Be personal, and original. Try to work clean. Stay away from topical material, as it does not allow you to craft it to make it better for later. And always remember that it is the fans who will make you or break you.

Why do people measure life by the years instead of how good the years were?

I'm not selling out, denying who I am or where I've come from, not at all. I acknowledge that.
