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

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.

I feel like I have a job to do, like I constantly have to reinvent myself.

My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with ‘topics’ – race, white versus black – you’re not separating from the pack. You’re doing what everybody else is doing.

The more I up the ante for myself, the better it is in the long run. I try to interact with my fans as much as possible. It’s good that the person I’m being onstage isn’t really an act. It’s really me.

I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it’ll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.

Comedy is my therapy. That’s how I deal with my problems, my personal battles. I talk about it. I give it to my fans. When they laugh at it, it’s a release, for lack of a better word.

Almost anything can be funny if said the right way – but it has to be said the right way.

No matter what, people grow. If you chose not to grow, you’re staying in a small box with a small mindset.

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.

My goal as a parent is to make sure they don’t take what they have for granted.

For me, it’s about becoming a mogul, owning my own projects, and establishing myself as a funding producer. That’s what’s big to me. The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I’m in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.

My main goal is to be a self-made man and have control over what’s mine.

My business acumen is definitely growing.

An unemployed court jester is nobody’s fool.

Neither woman nor man lives by work, or love, alone … The human self defines itself and grows through love and work: All psychology before and after Freud boils down to that.

I have defined poetry as a ‘passionate pursuit of the Real.

My definition of God is the ever-present essence of love.

Stop trying to define who you are and just be.

Fashion has a right to exist, because it permits the people to define themselves over and over again.

I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone’s got their own definition.

Rock is rock, and, rock and roll, rock is just short for rock and roll.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.
