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

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.

I want to let my fans know I love them and I'm coming your way and I'm bringing truckloads of funny.

I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.

What am I afraid of? The IRS. Thats it. I dont want those people knockin on my door, man.

I would love to try action films.

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