I don't think that humans are, in our nature, we're evil or anything like that. But I do think there's a demon in our DNA, in our tribal subconscious that affects the way we work and we operate as a group.

We can convince ourselves to do things in conjunction with one another that we wouldn't have been able to do as an individual.

I've always thought of myself as an African-American comedian, African-American man, everything.

I love dipping into worlds at a fast and furious pace. A little glimpse allows the audience to put together the rest of that world in their brain. I love sketches that require the audience to piece together the comedic engine themselves. Give them all the information but not tell them what the scene is about so they can have that eureka moment of, "Oh my God, he's only used to the way urban students pronounce their names. That's what's going on here.".

With a horror movie, you're making a metaphor. You're making a personalized nightmare for the protagonist.

The scariest monster in the world is human beings and what we are capable of, especially when we get together.

I was raised that emotion was a good thing.
