I speak English, obviously, Afrikaans, which is a derivative of Dutch that we have in South Africa. And then I speak African languages. So I speak Zulu. I speak Xhosa. I speak Tswana. And I speak Tsonga. And like - so those are my languages of the core. And then I don't claim German, but I can have a conversation in it. So I'm trying to make that officially my seventh language. And then, hopefully, I can learn Spanish.

Language and accents govern so much of how people think about other people.

I lived my life as a - as a part-white, part-black but then sometimes-Jewish kid.

I want to be in a position where I get to start off fresh. I don't have any preconceived notion of how I should feel.

The police [in South Africa] would check in on you randomly. And they would come into the house, and they would look through that registry and look at all the names of all the people who were registered to be living in the house. And they would, you know, cross-reference that with the actual inhabitants of the dwelling.I was never on that piece of paper. I was always hidden. My grandmother would hide me somewhere if the police did show up. And it was a constant game of hide and seek.

When I first started doing comedy, there was no such thing as a room that had black people and white people in it. That didn't exist.

Often, people who can do, don’t because they’re afraid of what people that can’t do will say about them doing.
