You guys have so much energy. I threw a party in Toronto and there were, like, 4,000 people who couldn't get in.

You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. I'm a black actor, so I can't really control what Hollywood thinks. I gotta go do my thing, and my jokes have got to be funny. Whatever I do has got to be great.

A lot of people may not know how competitive it is to play classical music, because when you think about it, the music that you're playing is music that's been here for years. And all you're trying to do is improve upon it when you play.

I would say my grandmother would be like my personal god.

I love music. I've always wanted to do music, even when I started out as a comedian.

I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism - I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account.

I am a comedian and you guys know whatever I say, I don't mean any of it.
