Martin Lawrence is one of my comedic heroes, and he's a genius.

Eddie [Murphy] is an icon. He's one of the reason why I started doing comedy in the beginning. He opened a lot of doors for black people.

Live every week like it's shark week.

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

I think the word 'pregnant' is funny.

I'm not afraid to move away from funny. I'm not afraid of that.
