I'm never gonna step away from stand-up. I can't. That's what got me where I am, and that's also my muse. That's how I stay level-headed. That's what keeps me going.

I've done auditions where the casting director is taking the paper out of my hand in the middle of reading.

I'm not the most attractive fella. I'm not a Billy Dee Williams. Personality is everything.

You've got to put yourself in positions to take away what can be said.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I'm animated.

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.

My business acumen is definitely growing.
