I learned from the guys before me - Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, just to name a few. These are guys that let it all hang out. What they lived is what they took to the stage.

I'm trying to maintain a level of realness that my fans can appreciate.

I DON'T have EX's! I have Y's. Like 'Y the hell did I date you?!

You definitely want your kids to understand their heritage, but I don't want my kids to just focus on being black. They are people. I don't want them to judge other people or to be judged. I want them to be good people, so good people will treat them accordingly. I preach that to my kids and everything else falls into place.

Some people love so hard that they can't control those emotions when they're at their deepest point.

I don't care how busy I am - I will always make time for what's most important to me.

I was always big on laughs, giving and receiving. It wasn't necessarily good for my teachers. Of course there's times where you go too far. My mom had to tell me, "Boy, if I have to come down to this school one more time, you're gonna get it."
