I like to do stand-up for people who live real life.

Too many people focus on the thing, instead of the heavenly glory of it. I don't want to give away what to expect.

When I'm in the mood to listen to music, I do like to go to the SkyBar [ L.A.].

My sense of humor was a tool for me getting past my mother and father separating, my older brother having cerebral palsy, and the bullies in the schoolyard. I had to make them laugh to keep them off my ass. I brought that to my professional career.

Let's focus on the funny. ... That's what I'm focused on... This is the gift God gave me. That's what I want to touch in people.

They say when opportunity knocks you should let it in and invite it to sit at your table. F*** that -- when opportunity knocks, you should take it captive. Beat that s*** down. I've got opportunity tied to a chair in my basement with a ball gag in its mouth. Opportunity ain't even thinking about leaving my house. If you keep quiet for a second, you'll hear it whining.

I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, and I consider myself lucky and blessed to be where I am - just working.
