The truth is if I had a gay son, I would love him just as much as if he was straight… I might have to try to love even more because I know of the difficulty that he would have in society.

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

My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.

I just want to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so that when I'm long gone my great-great-grandchildren can walk up to it and say, "That's my ancestor." That will be my legacy.

If I don't offend somebody, then I'm probably not funny.

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.

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.
