You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.

I deal with my sons like young men. If they have a problem with something, they come to me. I am the type of dad that will drop everything I am doing for them, and always tell them to talk to me about it.

I don't even deal with politics. I just don't believe in them. I think politics are politricks. My whole thing is power to the people. I don't put my faith in any one man. I keep my faith in God. That's where I keep my faith.

I'm not really much into politics, because it's rarely discussed in my line of work, but I know that Barack Obama is trying his best, and that at some point down the road, he's going to get it right.

People walked out on Richard Pryor and he's the funniest man alive.

People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.

If you can survive 'Saturday Night Live,' then you're good as far as show business is concerned.
