“I think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it.”

The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It’s dismissive.

All white people talk about when they get high is other times that they got high.

The kid is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Money is the fuel for choices. Money gives me choices, so it’s not nothing, it’s something. But it’s not the end all, be all. There are other things in my life that I did not purchase with money that are very valuable.

Comedy is a very approval-oriented field.

People don’t know what it’s like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.

The world can’t tell you who you are. You’ve just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.

I don’t want the money. I don’t want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again.

I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.

I started when I was 14. I figured out that’s what I wanted to do when I was 14. Even when I was six, I can remember people telling me, “You’re gonna be a comedian,” and all this stuff.

I got married recently. So far, so good. Less sex than I expected, but other than that, it’s a pretty good lifestyle.

I support anyone’s right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?

When I’m on stage, I get real happy there. Maybe that’s the only time in my adult life I feel like myself.

Comedians by and large are some of the most sensitive people on earth. Even if they’re socially callous.

You got to be careful of the company you keep.

It seems like there’s never enough famous white people among comic in Hollywood.

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression.

He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.

And I ask why am I black, they say I was born in sin, and shamed inequity. One of the main songs we used to sing in church makes me sick, ‘love wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

We knew that in the end what they were clashing over was us, what to do with the blacks, and whether or not to start treating us as human beings.

Discrimination based on skin color, sexual orientation,& gender needs to stop. We’re all humans at the end of the day.

Oppression is wrong. Species don’t matter.

Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.

For today’s generation of blacks to act as if their struggle compares to that of two generations ago insults and diminishes that generation’s struggle.
