“I love my daughter, but there’s a certain feeling, a certain emotion when you got a granddaughter, you know?”

I think a lot of TV insults the audience.

I can act. I’ve been acting for a long time, but like anything else, don’t nobody owe you nothing. You’ve go to pay your dues. You go from A to Z; you don’t go from M to Z.

I was a street performer for two years.

I’m not afraid to fail. Sometimes when you lose, you win. Sometimes when you win, you lose.

You can’t change what happened. Just like you can’t change the future by worrying about it. You just have to keep moving.

Bernie Mac just says what you think but are afraid to say.

It took me a long time to get to where I’m at, in my career and as a man. I was going through my trials and tribulations in life, and it gave me the strength to tackle things that have come my way.

Why I was so intrigued with Red Skelton was because he was able to make you cry and laugh and the same time. That was power.

I had to do clubs where street gangs were, had to do motorcycle gangs, gay balls and things of that nature.

I’m not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that’s what makes my comedy different.

Stand-up is what I am; stand-up is what made me.

I love who I am. I love what I’ve become.

When you’re offstage, that’s the footprint. That’s the man God’s gonna judge.

Fear is not one of my attributes.

The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of.

I don’t need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don’t need any of that.

Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher Swept off his tall hat to the Squire’s own daughter, So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly Singing about her head, as she rode by.

We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.

Art is the daughter of freedom.

You, the sons and daughters, the future of Turkiye, even under such circumstances and conditions, your duty is to save the Turkish independence and the Republic, you will find the power you need in the noble blood in your veins.

Brown daughters are just fragile glass houses always on the verge of shattering.

I think I’m much more afraid of making a mistake in raising my daughters than I would be with any work that I do, as an actor. It’s a much higher scale of fear, raising kids.

Without my ministry, I would just be Martin Luther King’s daughter. You know, when people call me that, it doesn’t bother me anymore. I know I am not my father. I know I am me.

I have no secrets. Neither did Tupac, neither does my daughter. We don’t live behind secrets, we don’t live lies, we are who we are, and we are pretty happy to be who we are.
