When I'm in the mood to listen to music, I do like to go to the SkyBar [ L.A.].

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

I'm a big, big movie fan. I watch 'The Ten Commandments' and the original 'Planet of the Apes' every night.

A stand-up's job is to hold the mirror up to society and to look at what we're afraid of. That's why we had shows like 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons.' We made fun of ourselves then.

My father was the role model I looked up. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star.

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

I was like any other inner-city kid with a chip on his shoulder because his daddy and his mommy wasn't together.
