Listen, Bruce Lee fought out of anger. That’s why they call it the Fists of Fury. Michael Jackson danced with fury. I do stand up out of fury. I’m not mad at anybody. I’m not mad at any human being because I’m a human being.

I see the ups and downs. I see the mistakes I've made. I see a funny person. I see a serious person. I see a diamond. I see the good times. I see the bad times. And I see knowledge of self. I see knowledge of self. I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.

What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.

And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.

If you don't laugh, you're going to cry and people are crying. That's why I guess you have lots of people like comedians to keep us laughing.

I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.

My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.
