Eddie [Murphy] is an icon. He's one of the reason why I started doing comedy in the beginning. He opened a lot of doors for black people.

Make your judgments and then you don't have to worry about it. You're always going to have those people who are offended about every little thing.

I think the word 'pregnant' is funny.

Young stand-ups, we ought to do comedy in George Carlin's spirit, in Richard Pryor's spirit, in Jackie Gleason's spirit, in Lucille Ball's spirit, because they did it with the spirit.

Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.

Because Eddie [Murphy] came from where I come from, the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. People in the projects used to call me Fat Murphy.

Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses.
