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

I had top-secret clearance and everything. I was working on a couple of projects that would keep me involved in Desert Storm. I was in the mix, which is scary.

I really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.

There's times when I'm really shy, so these roles that I get to play, they're how I would love to really be. And that's why I love doing stand-up, because it gives me the freedom to say what I really want to say. I think that's why it's my favorite thing to do.

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

I'm here today because I refused to be unhappy. I took a chance.

I love Costas. He's knows too much, but he's a good guy.
