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.

The things I did on Saturday Night Live are going to stay as Saturday Night Live. You've never seen Eddie Murphy do a Gumby movie. There's a lot more new material inside of me.

They say when opportunity knocks you should let it in and invite it to sit at your table. F*** that -- when opportunity knocks, you should take it captive. Beat that s*** down. I've got opportunity tied to a chair in my basement with a ball gag in its mouth. Opportunity ain't even thinking about leaving my house. If you keep quiet for a second, you'll hear it whining.

I love Ice Cube and Charlie Day. They're brilliant men, great actors and very funny people.

My sense of humor is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality.

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

Too many people focus on the thing, instead of the heavenly glory of it. I don't want to give away what to expect.
