I can’t cook, but I can make a turkey and cheese sandwich like nobody else.
Genuinely love doing standup and I’m a comedian first, so for me what makes my standup special is the fact that I don’t have to adapt or adjust. I am who I am. I appeal to everyone, hence in the movie doing a world tour.
I have good laugh every day. I enjoy life. I’m surrounded by love and positivity.
I’m pretty much an open book. I’ve pretty much talked about anything I’m going through onstage. Between interviews and curious fans, I’ve been asked everything. And I always give answers. I don’t shy away from anything.
Going through my divorce has changed who I am in my understanding of what’s good and bad in relationships.
I know how easy it is to put your foot in your mouth.
As soon as we try to write the simplest sentence about God, we find ourselves in anxious perplexities, but when we stop trying to write about God and talk with God, God is there and we can talk with God.
I think death is not simply the last few moments of life, death is something that runs throughout the whole of life. Each of our moments is not only the possibility of affirmation, but it’s also we’re saying farewell at each moment to something.
I just don’t believe people can tame animals.
I would spend absolutely every last minute with my kids, telling them how much I love them and how much I would do for them.
Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn’t just a director. He’s potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have. That’s what I mean when I say branding and developing yourself, as a business.
Winners are the ones who want the most out of their opportunities.
I only wanna go up the steps toward a different level of stardom. The BET Awards was one of those steps, the VMAs was another huge step. And the next step, eventually, hopefully, would be the Oscars.
The most important thing for a director is being able to communicate. When you communicate comfortably, regardless of what you’re saying, it can always be processed.
My rule is to save myself first.
When you work hard and you treat people great, regardless of what it is that you’re doing, naturally people want to help and do things.
Some sarcasm is best told simply. Some humor is best told big and some is best told small.
Some people come to work and that’s exactly what it is – work.
I like the fact that now my understanding for entertainment and the entertainment business is completely different from what it was when I first came in. I get the business side of it.
I know how I get hard. Running on a treadmill behind women in a gym normally does it for me.
