To me, politics is a pile of tricks.

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.

And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.

Don't follow in my footsteps. Be original, and create your own path. Be a trailblazer! Do you! Be better than me. Do you! Be happy and have joy in your life.

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

I've got to show life as I see it.
