I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.

I'm very giving. Even if it's for nonsense, I'll give it to you.

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

Outside of show business, I live a normal life.

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

I want to let my fans know I love them and I'm coming your way and I'm bringing truckloads of funny.

I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others.
