I was like any other inner-city kid with a chip on his shoulder because his daddy and his mommy wasn't together.

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.

My sense of humor was a tool for me getting past my mother and father separating, my older brother having cerebral palsy, and the bullies in the schoolyard. I had to make them laugh to keep them off my ass. I brought that to my professional career.

George Carlin is an influence on a generation. He made me want to do comedy.

Stand-up and comedy is the place where we are supposed to be able to make fun of all of the world's ills.

I'm not really much into politics, because it's rarely discussed in my line of work.

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