“Success isn’t supposed to happen, no matter how hard you work. There’s no guarantee you’re going to succeed. There’s nothing set in stone.”

The same thing I did in 2013 is what I’m trying to do in 2014, which is continue to improve, continue to shock people.

At the end of the day, I want to be part of the same conversation as Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.

I’ve known Ben Stiller for a minute. One of my first movies was ‘Along Came Polly.’

When people get married young, you don’t really understand the true definition of marriage.

I’m good friends with Jay Leno, good friends with Ed O’Neill, Melanie Fiona and Russell Simmons.

My goals are so high that I don’t have time to relax in any way, shape or form.

It’s very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.

The two things in the world we all share in this world are laughter and pain. We’ve all got problems. The levels of those problems vary, but we’ve all got problems.

I don’t take pictures when I’m with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It’s important when you’re as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you’re with them, and nothing compromises that. I’ve been lucky enough to have fans that understand that.

I don’t care how busy I am – I will always make time for what’s most important to me.

People like to hear the word ‘love.’

I am an angel. I was sent here from God to heal.

When you can take things that are painful and make them funny, that’s a gift – to you and your audience.

The only way to learn is for it not to get a laugh, so you can adjust it and come back the next day to see if it’s working right. Next time, you might get a different laugh. You’re constantly rebuilding.

When you’re coming up with new material, it’s not always gonna be good.

People who win go outside of that box. It’s very simple when you look at it.

Magic is what we do, music is how we do it.

That’s one of our biggest challenges is finding out how to do that. There are times when you have to scale back.

How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.

When someone bestows something on you, no matter how true it is, when someone says, ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ I’m honestly going, ‘Thank you. Right on.’ For me, it’s never canceled out anything, it’s never made me go, ‘Does this make me less talented of an actor?’

When I see grace in a woman, that’s very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.

It doesn’t matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it. The extent and complexity of the problem does not matter was much as does the willingness to solve it.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

How we ended up there and how we got to where we are today, without having some basic.
