I'm bad on Valentine's Day, but even worse on Christmas. I go shopping at nine o'clock on December 24th every year. Nobody else is there. I'm in Toys'R'Us all by myself. I get there five minutes before closing.

To be the leading man it's about the celebrity and the looks, and it's tough to do that. People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith - they're built for that. I ain't. I'm more of a character guy.

If you can, always be appreciative of the ebb and flow of the losses and the wins.

Every single thing in my life is built around race.

Being just an actor, sometimes people are like, "Hey, man, we don't wanna see you no more, in front of the camera," and I don't want that.

All of us black comedians are trying to be mainstream, but you don't want to lose the edge.

In L.A. you can hide. I can hide at the beach, hide up in the hills. In Miami everybody is looking at you.
