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

My father was the role model I looked up to. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star.

Let's focus on the funny. ... That's what I'm focused on... This is the gift God gave me. That's what I want to touch in people.

I like to do stand-up for people who live real life.

I can make people laugh at the drop of a dime. God's given me that ability.

I'm from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. So, you grow up around police officers. Some of them are in your family, some of them you have encounters with. I had a young police officer we were friends with in our group.

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