My husband, Sal, and I put date nights on the calendar once a week. I know that doesn't sound romantic, but otherwise it won't get done.

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.

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

I do a lot of stairs, a lot of planks, a lot of squats, a lot of treadmill, a lot of screaming - and I do it four times a week.

If you don't go towards the thing you fear, you won't be able to say you lived.

I was taught not to confront and interrupt people, but that's what I do every day on 'The View.'

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.
