“I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear – I’m not mad at anybody – not anymore.”

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.

I have a very good life, a high quality of life. I have both money and time. No one has that.

I always take a relationship to the next level. If that works out, I take it to the next level after that, until I finally reach that level when it becomes absolutely necessary for me to leave.

One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.

No matter how old you are, if a little kid hands you a toy phone, you answer it.

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.

I’m famous today. People like me today. Might not like me tomorrow. You can’t count on it.

Weed’s not as bad as everything else… ’cause weed is a background substance. You know what I mean, you can smoke some herb and still function. You ain’t crisp… but you’ll function.

I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.

If I can make a teacher’s salary doing comedy, I think that’s better than being a teacher.

If you don’t have the right people around you and you’re moving at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself.

I care about the work I do. But I’m not going to say that money’s not an issue.

Chivalry is dead. Women killed it.

Something about New York, man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you’re interested in being funny, New York is the place to go.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and watch me spark like a match tossed to tinder.

I don’t think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It’s to do with how much anger is in you.

When I am right, I get angry. Churchill gets angry when he is wrong. We are angry at each other much of the time.

A woman gets angry when a man denies his faults, because she knew them all along. His lying mocks her affection; it is the deceit that angers her more than the faults.

The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.

The man who cannot live with charity, sharing other men’s pain, is punished by feeling his own with intolerable anguish.

The finest fury is the most controlled.

If you are perpetually angry, depressed, confused, and unloving, or your attention is elsewhere, it won’t matter how successful you become or who is in your life – you won’t enjoy any of it.
