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

As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.

Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. This is my only girl. So I don't care what it takes to protect her. You can call it what you want to call it. As long as you treat her the same way I treat her, like my princess, I don't mind.

I don't have a hateful bone in my body. I don't believe anyone should be bullied or made to feel bad about who they are.

What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.

The actors are different, although I didn't set out to be different. My inspiration came from people like Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. The genre is what it is. My inspiration was drawn from great movies like 48 Hours, Bad Boys and Rush Hour.
