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

I don't even deal with politics. I just don't believe in them. I think politics are politricks. My whole thing is power to the people. I don't put my faith in any one man. I keep my faith in God. That's where I keep my faith.

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

I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.

You can't hold me to the same standard as the president or a school teacher. I'm just a comedian. My job is like Archie Bunker.

Saturday Night Live' was like a university for funny.

Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.
