But I understand that relationship; I understand how the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law relationship has so many conflicts because it's so forced.

When I'm not on T.V. or working on a movie, I'm on the road doing stand-up. That's my roots.

But sometimes the women writers will pitch something and I'll hear it, but the men will keep talking.

I don't like doing the same material over and over again. It's not fun.

With a black president, I can relax... I can dance in public... I can buy a whole watermelon now.

I think it's because my comedy is in your face, and it comes from a place that's real.

I always had one goal, and that was to be a real funny stand-up comic, and that's pretty much what I'm doing. And everything else is kind of like gravy - TV, movies.
