Life is too short to worry about what others say about you. Have fun and give them something to talk about.

If you give up at the first sign of struggle, you're really not ready to be successful.

Genuinely love doing standup and I'm a comedian first, so for me what makes my standup special is the fact that I don't have to adapt or adjust. I am who I am. I appeal to everyone, hence in the movie doing a world tour.

The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.

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."

I love being on stage, I love being able to tell a story, I love the fact that the audience listens and laughs at it. It makes me happy, and it's what I live for.

My main goal is to be a self-made man and have control over what's mine.
