I'm from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. So, you grow up around police officers. Some of them are in your family, some of them you have encounters with. I had a young police officer we were friends with in our group.

I'm very giving. Even if it's for nonsense, I'll give it to you.

If I don't offend somebody, then I'm probably not funny.

I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.

And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.

My father was the role model I looked up to. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star.

In my heart, I really don't care who you love, same sex or not; as long as you have the ability to love, that's the important thing here.
