“I don’t change or cater my actions to fit my surroundings. I’m myself 24/7. People appreciate that.”

No matter what you’re going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing.

Everybody that’s successful lays a blueprint out.

I’ve done a great job at being universal in my stand-up, which is why, for ‘Let Me Explain,’ I toured all over the world. These movies I have coming out – ‘Ride Along,’ ‘Grudge Match,’ ‘About Last Night,’ ‘Think Like a Man Too’ – are putting me in a position to become universal on an even bigger scale.

I’m a whopping 5 foot 4 inches tall. I’m not going to get any taller.

Before I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‘Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.’

It’s a well-known fact that tall people are evil.

However, I don’t think I’m as well versed in shoes as I am in comedy. Being a salesman was all about being a people person, and I enjoy being around people. I also love talking to people – which is why I think I did so well.

So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting. But you can go from acting to being a TV personality to being a radio personality to being a writer to being a producer, to just being a visionary, to voiceover work.

I didn’t work hard to sit down and not work.

The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.

Men are like lions. We hunt.

Laughter heals all wounds, and that’s one thing that everybody shares.

Take me seriously. Take me and my role seriously. Take my talent seriously.

I don’t know about other people, but I love to work.

My drive is other people’s success.

I’m not the most attractive fella. I’m not a Billy Dee Williams. Personality is everything.
