I don't like the saying keep your friends close and enemies closer. I want my enemy on a different planet.

I work hard. The staff and crew see how much energy I put into this project, and it makes them step up.

What gets me is when celebrities aren't allowed to have an opinion on anything political. There's the whole 'Shut up and sing' thing.

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

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

I love my family but my family - they're the type of people that never let you forget anything you ever did... I was in the first grade Christmas play - I'm playing Mary. Now, during the course of the play, I dropped the baby Jesus... They still talk about this. I go to my family reunion, and one of my cousins just had a baby. So I'm like, 'Oh, that's a cute little baby. Let me hold the baby...' And my aunt runs over, 'Don't you give her that baby! You know she dropped the baby Jesus!'

When my parents send me emails the first 3 are blank.
