“I love diversity.”

All men hate the nagging.

At the end of the day, regardless of the color of the cast, we’re all doing the same thing in this business: trying to make a good film.

I am who I am today because of my mother.

I love women with attitude.

Whatever is on the page is what I’m married to. I’m very prepared. I’m a thespian. I don’t like to improv. I don’t like to go off course ’cause I think that’s where stuff happens. When you stick to the material ’cause it’s written so well, that’s where the magic happens.

I’m never gonna step away from stand-up. I can’t. That’s what got me where I am, and that’s also my muse. That’s how I stay level-headed. That’s what keeps me going.

You make yourself broad. You make yourself appealing. ‘Hey, y’all, I’m cool with everybody.’ That’s my message.

At the end of the day, I want to be part of the same conversation as Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.

I’ve known Ben Stiller for a minute. One of my first movies was ‘Along Came Polly.’

When people get married young, you don’t really understand the true definition of marriage.

I’m good friends with Jay Leno, good friends with Ed O’Neill, Melanie Fiona and Russell Simmons.

My greatest passion is my personal life.

I love being at home and cooking and baking.

All I need is my Chanel dress, my Louboutins, and some red lipstick.

Focus on what you’re grateful for in your life. If you don’t appreciate what you have, you won’t get any more… because the universe thinks it’s not important to you, and therefore you don’t need any more.

I must first have the sense of God’s possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.

The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.

Honestly, I’m so sick of myself.

Family is at the heart of everything I do.
