“I never treat it like a job or feel that way. It’s the best thing ever to me, and I feel like a kid in a candy store.”

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.’

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.

You know it’s going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.

You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I’m the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.

You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

The best picture is around the corner. Like prosperity.

Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.

The best laws cannot make a constitution work in spite of morals; morals can turn the worst laws to advantage.

I don’t go there thinking I’m going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I’ll do the best that I can. I need to be at my peak and my best is holding up the trophy. Anything less I wouldn’t be really excited about. So that’s all I can focus on.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.
