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.

I can make people laugh at the drop of a dime. God's given me that ability.

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.

Sometimes I think we're exposed to things we shouldn't be exposed to too early. I think that sets the tone to a person's whole life.

Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.

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

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.
