“The original ‘About Last Night’ was phenomenal.”

These people are great because they just say, ‘I’ma do that,’ and they do it. That’s it. There’s no scientifical process.

I love making people laugh. And I love laughing.

Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work.

I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn’t want it to get any worse. You’re the mother of my kids – I don’t want to hate you.’

The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us.

I think women go crazy for a reason. It’s not like it just happens.

I stayed true to my dreams and, eventually, they came true.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

Being humble matters.

On ‘Think Like a Man,’ they got the best out of me because they allowed me to bring my own cadences and opinions to the character that I was playing. I think we got the best of that particular character.

I don’t write material. Funny things happen to me in the course of a day, and I just make notes.

I never looked back there, but she was like, ‘Will you all just shut up!’ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‘What are you doing?!’ I was like, ‘You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.’

What women need to understand is that men don’t communicate. It’s not intentional or on purpose. We’re just not as emotional. You ladies feel like you have to express yourselves.

At some point in time, you definitely have to go drama. Not to say that you’re going drama just because everybody else does it.

I love being on stage, I love being able to tell a story, I love the fact that the audience listens and laughs at it. It makes me happy, and it’s what I live for.

You last throughout the ages and you’re able to reincarnate your artistry numerous times.

I want to be consistent from the first day of the season to the last.

The first thing that a person finds in life and the last to which he holds out his hand.

I feel it is my duty to plod on, while daylight shall last.

And it has to come from somewhere inside you and not by being like what somebody did last year.

As a main ingredient to the show, it has to have truth, represent truth, or else it won’t last.

You have to transmit to them what its like being in the theater.

After a prosperous, but to me very wearisome, voyage, we came at last into port.
