I can make people laugh at the drop of a dime. God's given me that ability.

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

I don't need no stool and mike stand. I don't need all of that to be funny. I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me. I spread love wherever I'm at. I'm like Marvin Gaye.

When I was a young kid, my pops introduced me to it. He took me to Harlem, 145th and Edgecombe, to watch the filming of Claudine with James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll. That was my first taste of seeing a set and the cameras, and I was bit by the acting bug at a young age.

People walked out on Richard Pryor and he's the funniest man alive.

Life smacks Tracy Morgan in the face, and I don't mean to talk in third party, but no, it doesn't stop raining when I come outside, no, absolutely not. I'm very in touch.

My sense of humor is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality.
