I had a sense of who I was before I got famous.

When you're standing around for an hour doing stand up it's no big deal but when you're standing around watching a show for an hour - it's a big difference. It's annoying - your feet hurt, your back hurts - it's just not the most comfortable way to see stand-up comedy.

Richard Pryor is, in my mind, the most honest comedian. He bared his soul to people. I think that's why everybody loved him so much.

It's been one of the most important tools for me in personal growth for understanding myself, how I am, and what effect I do have on other people.

I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with.

If you attach your mind to any ideology, you're going to be on a road, and that road may or may not lead you in a good direction. But you're gonna stay on that road because you are attached to an ideology. It could be a terrible road, but you stick with it regardless of rational thinking.

Aspire to be the man you pretend to be when you're trying to get laid.
