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

I've got to show life as I see it.

I touch on sex in my stand-up and it's funny, because when I talk about sex from an adult point of view, people cringe. But if I talk about war or killing, people laugh. So it's sick. It's really demented.

I'm around my kids every day. I'm regular. We're a regular family. My wife cooks, she washes clothes, I read books, I pump my own gas, I get my own hair cut.

I don't really take the college tours and all that. Those are young people and I'm quite sure they're mature enough to understand, but they haven't seen or lived real life yet.

Everything I talk about in stand-up is my experiences as an American, as a father, as a husband, as a black man, as a human being.

I don't do drama. I'm a comedian.
