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.

Stand-up is my foundation. That's where it started at. And I love it because it's personal. It's mine. It's all me. It's my experience in life.

My father said: "If you want to catch your girl cheating, you knock on the front door and run to the back, because he's coming out the back."

I'm not really much into politics, because it's rarely discussed in my line of work, but I know that Barack Obama is trying his best, and that at some point down the road, he's going to get it right.

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.

I don't have a hateful bone in my body. I don't believe anyone should be bullied or made to feel bad about who they are.

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