I think for comedians, acting is their natural progression. It's all about progression.

I don't need Hollywood. With or without them, I'll be fine. But I'll admit it would be nice to have them on board.

Do it [stand-up comedy] because it feels like the right thing to do. Do it because you don't want to do anything else. There is something in you that does not want you to do anything else other than comedy.

Who I am on stage is just an amped up version of who I am in real life.

Self-worth and financial worth become indistinguishable.

People always say 'You do racial comedy.' And I don't, exactly. I do cultural comedy. Because race and culture are two different things. There's black people from America and then there's black people from Africa. Racially, they're the same; culturally, they're extremely different.

I'm not just saying this, but I love everything about India.
