To me, political office should be like jury duty. You should just get a notice in the mail one day and say, 'Aw, sh - , I'm secretary of state next month.

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.

And then also I think it's harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike.

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

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

Once you start making money, you can be an ass. But I am not an ass. I'm too lazy, that takes a lot of energy.

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.
