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 really personal. It's not like somebody else is writing the script and you have to do what they write.

The actors are different, although I didn't set out to be different. My inspiration came from people like Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. The genre is what it is. My inspiration was drawn from great movies like 48 Hours, Bad Boys and Rush Hour.

The truth is, I've never thought of myself as the Michael Jordan of comedy. And that's a good thing. You know why? Because I'm not. Wasn't that Richard Pryor? Yes, it was. I know what I am: I'm funny!

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.

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.

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