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.

A stand-up's job is to hold the mirror up to society and to look at what we're afraid of. That's why we had shows like 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons.' We made fun of ourselves then.

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

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

I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others.

I would love to try action films.

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.
