My father said: "If you want to catch your girl cheating, you knock on the front door and run to the back, because he's coming out the back."

I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, and I consider myself lucky and blessed to be where I am - just working.

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

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

The truth is, I've never thought of myself as the Michael Jordan of comedy. And that's a good thing. You know why? Because I'm not. Wasn't that Richard Pryor? Yes, it was. I know what I am: I'm funny!

The things I did on Saturday Night Live are going to stay as Saturday Night Live. You've never seen Eddie Murphy do a Gumby movie. There's a lot more new material inside of me.

I touch on sex in my stand-up and it's funny, because when I talk about sex from an adult point of view, people cringe. But if I talk about war or killing, people laugh. So it's sick. It's really demented.
