There's always a message in my comedy.

My comedy is a nuclear bomb inside my mind. It's a weapon that's never been tested. It just blows up and flattens everybody.

America does not like losers. Look how we treated those soldiers who came back from Vietnam. Because they lost. America likes winners.

I don't want affirmative action - too much affirmative, not enough action.

People do many things for many reasons. Sometimes, what you do you have no control over, because it's predestined. It's gonna happen in spite of you. There's nothing you can do about it.

I like when people are trapped in the joke, when there's no escape. I like to lead people down the wrong path and then trap them.

The king of comedy is dead. Richard Pryor was the king of comedy. The rest of them are the king of copycats.
