“I can honestly say, after talking about my mom passing away, I got the biggest weight off of my chest.”

You definitely want your kids to understand their heritage, but I don’t want my kids to just focus on being black. They are people. I don’t want them to judge other people or to be judged.

Because I’m small, I’ve been called things from ‘Happy Feet’ to ‘Little Face.’

No matter what you’re going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing.

Everybody that’s successful lays a blueprint out.

I’ve done a great job at being universal in my stand-up, which is why, for ‘Let Me Explain,’ I toured all over the world. These movies I have coming out – ‘Ride Along,’ ‘Grudge Match,’ ‘About Last Night,’ ‘Think Like a Man Too’ – are putting me in a position to become universal on an even bigger scale.

I’m a whopping 5 foot 4 inches tall. I’m not going to get any taller.

Before I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‘Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.’

It’s a well-known fact that tall people are evil.

However, I don’t think I’m as well versed in shoes as I am in comedy. Being a salesman was all about being a people person, and I enjoy being around people. I also love talking to people – which is why I think I did so well.

So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting. But you can go from acting to being a TV personality to being a radio personality to being a writer to being a producer, to just being a visionary, to voiceover work.

I didn’t work hard to sit down and not work.

The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.

Men are like lions. We hunt.

Laughter heals all wounds, and that’s one thing that everybody shares.

Take me seriously. Take me and my role seriously. Take my talent seriously.

I don’t know about other people, but I love to work.

And we shout with the others, When we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There’s really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT.

She does not want to feel even the faintest temptation to call his mobile number, as she had done obsessively for the first year after his death so she could hear his voice on the answering service.

It was Vito, Carl Franzoni, Sue, Beatle Bob, Bryan Maclean and me…people would come to Ben Frank’s to hang out with us after we played shows.

Long after i am dead and gone, the light will continue to burn and be borne aloft, giving light and guidance to all people

Nobody knows I’m Elvis, nobody knows this is me. After all of my tries, I’ve got the perfect disguise.

After creation God said, ‘It is finished’-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, ‘It is finished’-and we can rest.

They’re right there waiting for it. A community of people who’ve been denied wealth, denied wealth-building opportunities, are right there. And the banks went right after them.

Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.
