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.

Live every week like it's shark week.

My life growing up was a twisted Bronx version of The Color Purple. It had a much different soundtrack and no trees, but that desperation was the same.

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

When I do stand-up... I get to do whatever I want to do. There's no boundaries. You'll get to know me. You'll leave with a piece of me.

I love "30 Rock" because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.

Outside of show business, I live a normal life.
