There's so much you can achieve with a launching pad like stand-up comedy. You can literally go from acting to hosting to being a personality.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us. I never looked back there, but she was like, 'Will you all just shut up!' And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, 'What are you doing?!' I was like, 'You better get up here! I don't play the fighting games.'

I ain't never called nobody no redskin. I've never been mad, like, 'Get out of this restaurant, you redskin.'

I don't think you get successful to brag and throw what you have in the world's face. That's all private.

I can get where some scientists would say comedians are crazy. What you have to understand: A lot of comedians are dealing with a dark passion. A lot of these are guys coming from a tumultuous life, including myself. Some people need outlets, a way to express yourself.

Here's the thing. We do a movie with a predominantly black cast, and it's put in a category of being a black film. When other movies are done with a predominantly white cast, we don't call them a white film. I'm trying to remove the stigma off things they call black films.

My drive is other people's success.
