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

I don't need no stool and mike stand. I don't need all of that to be funny. I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me. I spread love wherever I'm at. I'm like Marvin Gaye.

I live life and I don't take it for granted.

I never wanted the ha-ha-ha laughter [at my shows]. I always aimed for the gut. I always aimed for the pretty girls in the front row, laughing and leaning over and pooting.

Stand-up don't get no respect - it's the hardest thing to do in show business. You don't have no band and there's no music.

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

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.
