I am who I am. That's why my friends and peers respect and appreciate me. I don't change or cater my actions to fit my surroundings. I'm myself 24/7. People appreciate that.

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.

My lady makes me do it. I sang Whitney Houston's "Bodyguard".

Every poem that I write is, in a sense, trying to find adequate words for this unspeakable word, around which my entire life turns.

The funny thing is, all my friends are short. I wasn't aware of tall people till I got to high school. I didn't know they existed. I was sheltered.

Chris Rock does the political thing really well, but that never worked for me.

Back in my heyday, when I was out on the streets - I'm engaged now, about to get married - but before that I was quite the sex symbol. My line was, "If I was taller, would I have a chance?".
