I just want to be funny, I just want to do comedy.

Every person has contributed to me as a human, but a lot of the characters I do are ones I created.

I'm from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. So, you grow up around police officers. Some of them are in your family, some of them you have encounters with. I had a young police officer we were friends with in our group.

In my heart, I really don't care who you love, same sex or not; as long as you have the ability to love, that's the important thing here.

Young stand-ups, we ought to do comedy in George Carlin's spirit, in Richard Pryor's spirit, in Jackie Gleason's spirit, in Lucille Ball's spirit, because they did it with the spirit.

I love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.

My life growing up was a twisted Bronx version of The Color Purple. It had a much different soundtrack and no trees, but that desperation was the same.
