As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.

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

I just want to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so that when I'm long gone my great-great-grandchildren can walk up to it and say, "That's my ancestor." That will be my legacy.

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.

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

Too many people focus on the thing, instead of the heavenly glory of it. I don't want to give away what to expect.
