I love the honesty of New Yorkers. When a New Yorker says 'let's do lunch,' they actually mean it. In L.A., when they say 'let's do lunch,' they're just trying to say good-bye.

I was homeless for a little bit. I was on people's couches, but it was an amazing journey. I got to make people laugh all the way.

My grandmother taught me that accomplishments meant less than what you left behind. I started to ask myself what impact my comedy would have on people's lives. And that changed my act. I got cleaner. I stopped talking about generic stuff like airplane peanuts and started speaking the truth about my gift.

My sisters have been baptized and my dad is a deacon at his church now. Sadly my mother passed away but what I can say is that the Jehovah Witnesses took very good care of her up until she died.

I know that for me I have to get out of the way and let God take control.

Black people don't talk about diabetes that much. I never knew anything. I thought everyone had an uncle with a leg cut off!

Run towards that very thing that you fear, because there's amazing blessings on the other side.
