“I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds.”

I’m happier in the way a guy gets happier when he starts to mature. It doesn’t make things easier, but I’m so much better at handling them.

Constantly take inventory of what’s important to you.

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.

The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It’s dismissive.

All white people talk about when they get high is other times that they got high.

The kid is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Money is the fuel for choices. Money gives me choices, so it’s not nothing, it’s something. But it’s not the end all, be all. There are other things in my life that I did not purchase with money that are very valuable.

Comedy is a very approval-oriented field.

People don’t know what it’s like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.

The world can’t tell you who you are. You’ve just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.

I don’t want the money. I don’t want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again.

I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.

I started when I was 14. I figured out that’s what I wanted to do when I was 14. Even when I was six, I can remember people telling me, “You’re gonna be a comedian,” and all this stuff.

I got married recently. So far, so good. Less sex than I expected, but other than that, it’s a pretty good lifestyle.

I support anyone’s right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?

When I’m on stage, I get real happy there. Maybe that’s the only time in my adult life I feel like myself.

I hate dreaming because when you want to sleep, you want to sleep. Dreaming is work. Next thing you know, I have to build a go-cart with my ex-landlord.

Do not hate anybody, because that hatred which comes out from you must, in the long run, come back to you. If you love, that love will come back to you, completing the circle.

Opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one.

Against my will I stand beside my own reflection.

I never thought that I’d be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.

If I be worthy, I live for my God to teach the heathen, even though they may despise me.

Sincerity seems to be a problem today. I’d rather be true and hated than be false and fool people.

I believe it doesn’t do yourself any good to hate.
