“I got a dog with a Napoleon complex. I have a Napoleon complex. We’re small. Anything big that we feel is threatening us, we want to fight. We’re not a pushover.”

Success isn’t supposed to happen, no matter how hard you work. There’s no guarantee you’re going to succeed. There’s nothing set in stone.

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

You get one life. I’m going to embrace mine.

I don’t think comedy will ever die.

I understand that being able to appeal to the public and having an amazing sense of humour is not something that comes easy. It’s definitely a gift and for which I’m thankful.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this career of mine.

Stand-up can take you in so many different places, man.

I’m a Buffalo wing magnet, a sandwich fanatic, a cheesesteak guy. But I’ll only get a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. No one else does it right.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better.

You definitely want your kids to understand their heritage, but I don’t want my kids to just focus on being black. They are people. I don’t want them to judge other people or to be judged.

Because I’m small, I’ve been called things from ‘Happy Feet’ to ‘Little Face.’

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.’

I don’t really watch anything on TV. It’s not really a priority for me.

The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality.

My message to little kids who aspire to be anything they want to be is to listen to their parents.

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

When you feel good in a clothing anything can happen.

People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust.

You can do anything in this world if you are prepared to take the consequences.

Anything I would do, I would have to be me. That is how it would work.
