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

The most interesting thing about acting is when you go to the dark places, that's a lot of energy. When you go to the happiest places, it's also a lot of energy.

Nobody wants to hear R&B. It's sad. If you want to be on the radio you got to stay young.

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

I play a slave. How black is that? I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But don’t worry. I get free. I save my wife and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that?

You are what you repeatedly do when things get hard.

We can't retract the decisions we've made, we can only affect the decisions we're going to make from here.
