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

Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.

If you feel like there's something out there that you're supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.

These CEOs, man ... If you're that ruthless, you're a scary dude. I tell you, now when I walk past a little gang banger, I don't even blink. But if I see a white dude with a Wall Street Journal, I haul ass. Before I walk past the Arthur Andersen building, I cut through the projects. If you cut through the projects, you may just lose what you have on you that day. I ain't never been mugged of my whole future.

Seriously, I don't need a gun. I'm easily annoyed. I would shoot people in my house that I invited over.

I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay.

I'm always thinking of stuff; I just don't sit down and write it. I come up with material more as I go along; if something funny happens, I'll make a note of it on my phone.
