“I do want children. I study dads more. I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did and my brother and my sister.”

A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I’ve always worked hard.

I can’t run a company… I can’t even run my own life!

Sixth grade was a big time, in my childhood, of hoops and friendship, and coming up with funny things.

I never had a speech from my father ‘this is what you must do or shouldn’t do’ but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn’t perfect.

I think I’m playing grown up because I have kids now. But I don’t feel grown up yet.

My kids don’t have a trust fund, they have a debt fund. And when I die, they’re $4 million in the hole.

I don’t know what drives me to succeed. I know I want to always do the best I can.I guess I was maybe in little league baseball as far as I wanted to be good at that. But school, I certainly wasn’t the best at that.

Mama says that, happiness is from magic rays of sunshine that come down when you’re feeling blue.

I’ve always wanted to do a family movie.

I say things, like every other parent, that reminds you of your own parents. One thing I do know about being a parent, you understand why your father was in a bad mood a lot.

My buddies, we’ve always just tried to make each other laugh. I mean, just like all friends hanging out – that’s the goal.

When I do stand-up shows at colleges, girls will talk to me after the show, and that always feels good. I like talking to them.

Comedy, such a lovely lady, she’ll pick you up, you your feeling blue.

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink, put you to bed when you’ve had too much to drink. Oh, it could be so nice to grow old with you, I wanna grow old with you.

I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience.

I think the reason I don’t read is because, when I’m reading, I feel like I’m missing out on something else. You know, What are my friends doing? Where’s my girlfriend?

This is the culture your raising your kids in, don’t be suprised when it blows up in your face.

Kids come into the world with clean hearts, fresh starts.

The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories.

I was seeing the effects of what music can do — how it can be healing and bring people joy, but on the flip side, there was this ugliness. I saw the greed and the He-Mans that were willing to f*ck over children.

In my travels all over the world, I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.

Nothing is more completely the child of art than a garden.

Racism is a grown-up disease, and we should stop using our kids to spread it.

I felt like there was something I needed to do – speaking to kids and sharing my story with them and helping them understand racism has no place in the minds and hearts of children.
