Ever Argue With A Female And, In The Middle Of The Argument, You No Longer Feel Safe Because Of Her Actions? She May Start Pacing Back And Forth Real Fast, Breathing Out Her Nose.

I Want To Reach The Status Of Becoming A Mogul. And The Only Way You Get There Is By Work.

I Don't Have To Change Anything. I Think That's The Secret To Comedy. You Want To Be Universal And Appeal To Everyone. You Want To Put Yourself In A Position That No Matter What You're Talking About, Everyone Can Relate To It And Understand It, Because It's An Experience That Everyone Can Go Through. That's What I Pattern My Writing Material And Jokes After. I'm Trying To Maintain A Level Of Realness That My Fans Can Appreciate.

Comedy Central Was A Great Network, But 'chappelle's Show' Took It To A Completely Different Level. Other Shows Got Bigger Because So Many Viewers Were Watching The 'chappelle' Reruns. For Bet, The 'real Husbands Of Hollywood' Has That Same Potential.

If You Give Up At The First Sign Of Struggle, You're Really Not Ready To Be Successful.

The Second Time Around I'll Understand That, As A Husband, My Wife Doesn't Care About My Opinions. I Just Need To Tell Her The Things That Will Continue To Help Me Stack The Brownie Points.

It's Very Rare That You Get A Director That Lets You Be Creative And Bring What You Feel Your Character Should Do Or Should Be.

I Don't Use Twitter For Bad.

I'm Happy About Working; I'm Happy About Gracing The Stage And Coming Out And Making People Laugh. 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.

People Who Eat With Their Mouth Open Should Be Punched In The Face.

I Performed In A Bowling Alley Before While People Were Still Bowling. Cut The Check, And I Will Perform Anywhere.

Some People Love So Hard That They Can't Control Those Emotions When They're At Their Deepest Point.

I Stayed True To My Dreams And, Eventually, They Came True.

I Make A Lot Of Expressions Constantly. I'm Animated.

I Love Soft-cotton White T-shirts.

I Think, First Of All, I Don't Think People Understand Ice Cube's Body Of Work. Ice Cube Is A, And I Hate To Use The Word 'urban' But - When You Think Of Judd Apatow, And A Person Who's Launched So Many Careers, Ice Cube Has Done That For So Many Comedians, You Know?

You Might Be The Funniest Guy In The World, But If You Don't Have Anything To Talk About, People Are Eventually Going To Gravitate Towards The Guy That's Actually Saying Something.

Divine Love, Agape, Is Self-sacrificing Love, Which Sounds Difficult, As It Is, And Not Very Attractive. If The Best Image We Have Of Love Is Of A Man Who's Been Tortured And Hung Upon A Cross To Die An Excruciating Death, This Is Something That Human Beings Find Very, Very Hard To Understand As Love. But It Is The Highest Christian Image Of Love.

I Only Wanna Go Up The Steps Toward A Different Level Of Stardom. The Bet Awards Was One Of Those Steps, The Vmas Was Another Huge Step. And The Next Step, Eventually, Hopefully, Would Be The Oscars.

I Just Don't Believe People Can Tame Animals.

I Love To Pop Up At The Movie Theaters. I Love To Treat The People Who Are There.

My Show 'the Big House' Was Picked Up; They Flew Me To New York. I'm About To Step On Stage To Announce 's 'the Big House.' And A Hand Grabs My Shoulder, 'kevin No, They Just Decided To Cancel It.' It's A Serious Smack-in-the-face Business, And Either You Can Take It, Or You Can't.

Bieber Has 10 Million Fans - Most Are In Middle Schools, Or Standing At Least 500 Feet Away From One.

Stand-up Comedy Is Mine: It's My Entity; It's My Brand; I Own It. I Do It When I Want To Do It.

The One Thing About The Business Of Entertainment Is That You Have To Learn Patience.

I Don't Know About Other People, But I Love To Work.

Barbra Streisand Has Accomplished So Much, And Dustin Hoffman As Well. They Are Down To Earth And Approachable. I Admire That.

The Relationship We Have With God Is Not The Same Over A Life; Sometimes, As With Human Relationships, It Goes Through Bad Patches And Sometimes It Becomes Very Intense. It Is A Terrifying Thing To Have A Relationship With One's Creator, To Spend One's Life So That One Is Trying To Converge With One's Creator Seems An Extraordinarily Difficult And Sublime Thing. But At The Same Time It's Extremely Simple. One Of The Things Which Perpetually Amazes Me Is That At Any Moment Or Any Day, Anyone Who Is Alive Can Talk With The Creator Of The Cosmos.

All I Can Do Is Try To Create My Own Brand And Have People Appreciate Me For That.

The Beauty Of Me Being On Stage Is I Have A Voice.

I Know How Easy It Is To Put Your Foot In Your Mouth.

I Have Good Laugh Every Day. I Enjoy Life. I'm Surrounded By Love And Positivity.

I'm Not Russell Crowe. I'm Not Going To Do A Period Piece.

My Road To Success Was A Long Road To Success Was A Long Road. You Get Out Of Something What You Put Into It. I Put Blood, Sweat And Tears Into Stand-up Comedy And The Entertainment Realm In General. For Me To Just Know Be Coming Around Is A Blessing. It's A Blessing And It's An Honor. It Makes Me Say I Can Get More And I Can Do More.

I Don't Take Pictures When I'm With My Kids, For The Sake Of My Kids. It's Important When You're As Busy As I Am That You Give Your Kids Your Time When You're With Them, And Nothing Compromises That. I've Been Lucky Enough To Have Fans That Understand That.

When You're Supposed To Be Close And Friends In The Film, The Moment You're Talking As Friends Off The Set, It Makes It That Much Better When You're Filming.

You Don't Have To Treat People Differently. You May Be Living A Different Lifestyle, But The Person Living That Different Lifestyle Still Can Relate To Anybody And Have The Same Amazing Personality Of The Guy From North Philly.

This Younger Generation That's Around, That's Tweeting, Facebooking And Vine-ing, The Fans Appreciate That Because They Feel Like They Can Get To You.

Any Hand That I’ve Shaken, Any Person That I Met When I Was Joe Blow, Now That I’m This Guy Kevin Hart, Has Come Back. That’s Why I Treat Everybody With Respect. I’m Always A Nice Pleasant Guy To Meet Because When They Come Back To You, They Remember.

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.

I Am In Control Of My Career, And That's What So Many Actors Don't Take Advantage Of. You Get To These Successful Points, And You Continue To Just Work For Other People. But, When You're Your Own Brand And You're Your Own Boss, The Whole Line Of Work Changes. That's My Biggest Turn On.

Life Is Too Short To Worry About What Others Say About You. Have Fun And Give Them Something To Talk About.

Life Is Too Short

I'm A Businessman As Well As An Entertainer. The Reason Why Is Because I Want To Own Whatever I'm Doing. I Don't Want To Work For Other People Forever.

Sometimes When You Hear So Much And Everybody Is Praising You, You Can Get Lost In That. You Can Start Thinking That You Are On A Higher Pedestal Than Everyone Else. So I Try To Stay Level Headed, Humble And The Best Way To Do That Is To Not Really Acknowledge It That Much. I Just Keep Grinding And Working As Hard As I Can. I Also Set My Goals Higher So That I Don't Have Time To Be Content With My Place In Life And In My Career.

I'm Not The Most Attractive Fella. I'm Not A Billy Dee Williams. Personality Is Everything.

Catholicism Is The Big House Of Christianity. It's Got Many, Many Rooms In It. And I've Always Been Attracted To The Rooms Which Are To Do With Prayer. The Mystical Strain Is The Strain Whereby The Whole Day Can Be Given Over To Prayer Through What We Call Lectio Divina, Prayerful Reading Of Scripture, Through Practice Of Meditation Of When One Uses The Imagination And The Intellect With Respect To Images, And Then Finally, And Most Difficult Of All, Contemplation, Where One Empties The Mind Of All Images And All Ideas, All Concepts, In Order To Be Completely Attentive To God.

The Same Thing I Did In 2013 Is What I'm Trying To Do In 2014, Which Is Continue To Improve, Continue To Shock People. You Know, I Have Several Projects Coming Up Between 2014 And 2015, And Hopefully By 2015, I'll Have Another Hour Of Stand-up Material Where I'll Be Able To Go On The Road And Tour Again.

I Don't Write Material. Funny Things Happen To Me In The Course Of A Day, And I Just Make Notes.

Every Poem That I Write Is, In A Sense, Trying To Find Adequate Words For This Unspeakable Word, Around Which My Entire Life Turns.

A Reputation As A Hard Worker Is A Good Reputation To Have.

My Upbringing Was Solid Because Of The People I Had Around Me.

I Had A Great Time Being A Salesman Because Of The Pitches That I Gave When I Was Selling Shoes. 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.

I Don't Like To Hear Woman Argue...it Makes My Balls Itch.

My Drive Is Other People's Success.

I Don't Have To Change Anything. I Think That's The Secret To Comedy. You Want To Be Universal And Appeal To Everyone.

I Am An Angel. I Was Sent Here From God To Heal.

I Want To Be Funny, But It Has To Be A Believable Funny.

The Sound Of The Headboard, That's Motivation.

Men Are Like Lions. We Hunt.

My Rule Is To Save Myself First.

Relationships Are Like Farting, If You Push Too Hard Things Could Get Messy Real Fast.

I Took My Daughter To The Father-daughter Dance And I Cried Like A Little Baby. She's 11 Years Old, So Seeing Her Get Dressed Up And Pretty Made Me Cry.

My Baby Is Weird Man... When He Get Mad, He Gets In The Oven.

The People Around Me Haven't Changed. The People Who Have Been In My Life Since The Beginning Are Still In My Life Now. I Think That Has A Lot To Do With My Staying Grounded And Humble Despite The Success I've Achieved.

People May Hate You For Being Different And Not Living By Society's Standards,but Deep Down,they Wish They Had The Courage To Do The Same.

Being Different

Stand-up Can Take You In So Many Different Places, Man. So Many Doors Can Be Opened Up From Stand-up Comedy, And The First One That Was Opened Up For Me Was Acting.

People Don't Want Drama 365 Days A Year. I'm A Sense Of Relief; It's My Job To Take Your Mind Off What's Bad For That Brief Second You're In The Room With Me, Regardless Of Shape, Race, Colour Or Anything. It Brings People Together, And It Makes Me Feel Good About What I'm Doing.

I Feel Like Whatever You've Done In Your Career, Good Or Bad, It's Nothing But Preparation For The Big Events To Come.

On 'think Like A Man,' They Got The Best Out Of Me Because They Allowed Me To Bring My Own Cadences And Opinions To The Character That I Was Playing. I Think We Got The Best Of That Particular Character.

If You're My Bestfriend I Shouldn't Have To Ask You To Lie For Me.

I Never Do Anything That I Don't Want To Do.

I Am Who I Am Today Because Of My Mother.

People Don't Want To Hear About Me Having Leather Walls Or Gold Toilets.

I Like Playing Basketball And Going To The Gym. I Don't Box, But I'll Ride My Bike And Go Jogging Or Running In The Park. Sometimes My Lady And I Go Hiking.

I Didn't Work Hard To Sit Down And Not Work.

In Comedy, My Strengths Are Improvisation.

No Man Wants To Settle Down. It Happens. Eventually You're Going To Bump Into Somebody That Makes You Go, 'hmm, I Don't Mind Seeing This Person Every Day.'

I Think What Happens In A Religious Life Is That We Have Those Experiences Of Affirmation And That One Starts To Live A Christian Life Or A Jewish Life Or A Muslim Life Or A Buddhist Life, By Affirming That Affirmation Each Day. Each Day You Say 'yes' To That Yes. So The Life Of Being A Christian For Example, Is Always A Life Of Double Affirmation, That You Each Day Say 'yes' To Those Counter-experiences Of Saying 'yes', Even When You're Not Experiencing Them At That Time, You're Remaining Loyal To That Experience.

There's So Much You Can Achieve With A Launching Pad Like Stand-up Comedy. You Can Literally Go From Acting To Hosting To Being A Personality.

There's A Difference Between Who We Love, Who We Settle For, And Who We're Meant For.

I Just Want To Be A Great Example To Younger Kids.

I Can't Cook, But I Can Make A Turkey And Cheese Sandwich Like Nobody Else.

Cheese Sandwiches

Back In My Heyday, When I Was Out On The Streets - I'm Engaged Now, About To Get Married - But Before That I Was Quite The Sex Symbol. My Line Was, "if I Was Taller, Would I Have A Chance?".

I Was Probably Tall As A Child, But I Just Stopped Growing.

'soul Plane' Put Me In A Position To Succeed. I'm Glad I Had The Opportunity To Be The Lead Man.

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. I Want Them To Be Good People, So Good People Will Treat Them Accordingly. I Preach That To My Kids And Everything Else Falls Into Place.

What You Find I Think In The Mystical Strain Of Catholicism Is That You're Put In Relationship With God, And You Have Many Opportunities Not Only Of Talking With God In Petitionary Prayer, But Also Of Listening To God, Being Attentive To God, As Happens In Contemplation.

When Obstacles Have Been Put In Front Of Me, I Just Get Around Them And Move Past Them And Laugh At Them.

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.

In Acting, You Have To Pull From Real-life Situations, From People, To Help Develop A Character.

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."

You Do Projects With The Hope They Will Be Big And Hope They Will Go Beyond What You Imagine.

My Goals Are So High.

I Ain't Never Called Nobody No Redskin. I've Never Been Mad, Like, 'get Out Of This Restaurant, You Redskin.'

I Think Death Is Not Simply The Last Few Moments Of Life, Death Is Something That Runs Throughout The Whole Of Life. Each Of Our Moments Is Not Only The Possibility Of Affirmation, But It's Also We're Saying Farewell At Each Moment To Something.

I Was Always Big On Laughs, Giving And Receiving. It Wasn't Necessarily Good For My Teachers. Of Course There's Times Where You Go Too Far. My Mom Had To Tell Me, "boy, If I Have To Come Down To This School One More Time, You're Gonna Get It."

I Think If Someone Gets Kicked In The Face It Is Their Fault- They Watched The Foot Come Towards Their Face.

It's A Well-known Fact That Tall People Are Evil.

When I Was In My Early 20s I Converted To Catholicism After A Long Period Of Searching. What I Think Drew Me To The Catholic Church Is That In Catholicism, Prayer Suffuses All Of One's Life By Virtue Of The Sacraments. Prayer Is Not Something Which Occurs Just On Sunday, It Doesn't Occur Only At Particular Moments Of Intensity Or By Particular Conventions, One's Whole Life Is Given Up To Prayer In Many, Many Modes. And So Everything To Do With The Faith Is Trying To Put You In Relationship With God And Trying To Make That Relationship Grow Deeper And More Mature.

When I Was Married, I Definitely Went Through A Lying Period.

The Most Important Thing For A Director Is Being Able To Communicate. When You Communicate Comfortably, Regardless Of What You're Saying, It Can Always Be Processed.

The Worst Thing About Being Lied To, Is Realizing They Don't Think You're Worth The Truth.

The Beauty Of Me Is I'm Always Going To Ask. I'll Never Not Ask.

The Only Time You Should Look Back In Life, Is To See How Far You Have Come.

I Get That Racism Exists, But It's Not A Catalyst For My Content. I Don't Need To Talk About Race To Have Material. 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.

People Like To Hear The Word 'love.'

Some People Come To Work And That's Exactly What It Is - Work.

Expect Me To Continue What I've Been Doing, Which Is Trying To Take Over The World.

We Don't Always Possess Faith In The Sense Of Having A Clear Embodiment Of Something To Hang On To. The Relationship Between The Intellect And Faith Is A Very Curious One. Sometimes The Intellect Can Point Us To Faith, Sometimes The Intellect Can Stand In The Way Of Faith. Sometimes, As St John Of The Cross Points Out, We Have To Darken Or Blind The Intellect In Order To Have Faith.

My Daughter Has Impressions That She Does Of Me.

My Mom Was Very Strict. She Didn't Let Me Watch Anything Rated R Or Anything With Cussing.

A Lot Of Blood, Sweat, And Tears Have Gone Into This Career Of Mine.

I Don't Think Comedy Will Ever Die.

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've Been Known To Preach.

All Men Hate The Nagging.

Because Of What I Do, It Has To Be An Open Book, But Right Now This Is A Book That Is Being Written.

I Love That I Can Tell The Truth And Have People Laugh At It.

Telling The Truth

My Goal Is To Make Everyone And Anyone A Fan.

My Experiences In Life Are Getting Bigger And Better. The More Stuff I Do, The More Stuff I Talk About - Having Kids, Traveling, Going Through Relationship Problems, Dealing With Things In My Own Family. All That Stuff Builds Character.

Bigger And Better

There Seems To Be Something Poetically That Doesn't Work Or Is Limiting When You Call God 'god' In A Poem. When I Tried To Be Honest With Myself In My Relationship With God, Christ Is, On The One Hand, Completely Dark, He's Transcendent And Unknown. On The Other Hand, He Is Completely Imminent And Completely Knowable As Jesus. Our Tradition Speaks Of Him In Both Ways As Transcendent But Also As A Lover Who Comes To Us, And The Two Word 'dark One' Seem To Me To Contain Both Things, The Transcendence And Otherness Of Christ, But Also Like A Kind Of Dark Lover Who Comes To Us.

I Think Sometimes Celebrities Get So Big, They're Not Reachable.

I Don't Know If I'm At The Relationship Advice Stage Yet. I Do Have A Lot Of Information To Share, And A Book Is Definitely In The Works, But I Don't Know Whether It'll Be Geared Towards Relationships.

I Can Honestly Say, After Talking About My Mom Passing Away, I Got The Biggest Weight Off Of My Chest. 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.

I'm A Health Nut, But When I Eat, I Go Hard.

I Shouldn't Have To Ask For Your Permission For Me To Put You In My Lie!

I Don't Look At Obstacles As Obstacles. I Look At Them As Things That Were Put There For A Reason. You Can Approach These Things Negatively Or Positively. I Think Those That Approach It With A Negative Mindset Only Get A Negative Outcome.

So Unless We Form Some Kind Of Adequate Relationship To Death, We're Never Going To Live Properly, And If We Think Of It Purely As A Medical Thing, We Have Reduced Life. We Should Think Of It As Some Sort Of Mystery Which We Can Participate In Now, Not Something To Be Pushed Off To One Side Till The Last Moments.

I'm A Whopping 5 Foot 4 Inches Tall. I'm Not Going To Get Any Taller.

Some Sarcasm Is Best Told Simply. Some Humor Is Best Told Big And Some Is Best Told Small.

People Want To Act Like They Know Celebrities. They Want To See Pictures. They Want To Know Where You're Going. They Want To Hear You Talk About Your Family.

Every Relationship Should Eventually Become A Long-term Relationship. Any Director That I Meet Now Isn't Just A Director. He's Potentially A Friend, And Someone I Can Call To Do A Project That I Want Or That I Have. That's What I Mean When I Say Branding And Developing Yourself, As A Business.

I'm Trying To Do What Eddie Murphy Did For His Generation. You Have To Show People, 'i'm Different. I'm Not Just A Comedian.' I'm Trying To Become A Rock Star.

I Am Who I Am. That's Why My Friends And Peers Respect And Appreciate Me. I Don't Change Or Cater My Actions To Fit My Surroundings. I'm Myself 24/7. People Appreciate That.

I Don't See How People Are Comfortable With Seeing Other People Be Great. You Can Be Happy For Anybody, But What Is Your Excuse To Not Want To Be Great? These People Are Great Because They Just Say, 'i'ma Do That,' And They Do It. That's It. There's No Scientifical Process.

The Kind Of Poetry I Write, Lyric Poetry, I Think Is Really Concerned With Intimacy, With Mystery. That Needn't Be Religious Mystery, There Are Mysteries To Do With Everyday Life.

'best Man Holiday' Was A Very Successful Film.

You Can Do The Same Thing With $20 Million That You Would Do With $50 Million. So At A Certain Point In Your Life And In Your Career, You Realise That It's Not About The Money.

The Two Things In The World We All Share In This World Are Laughter And Pain. We've All Got Problems. The Levels Of Those Problems Vary, But We've All Got Problems. When You Can Take Things That Are Painful And Make Them Funny, That's A Gift - To You And Your Audience.

You Don't Want To Pigeonhole Yourself.

Hollywood Has A Way Of Making Everything Seem Like An Overnight Success.

Overnight Success

My Lady Makes Me Do It. I Sang Whitney Houston's "bodyguard".

The Funny Thing Is, All My Friends Are Short. I Wasn't Aware Of Tall People Till I Got To High School. I Didn't Know They Existed. I Was Sheltered.

Chris Rock Does The Political Thing Really Well, But That Never Worked For Me.

It All Depends On What You're Willing To Invest Time And Effort In And Put Your Mind To. That's What Separates Winners From Losers. Winners Are The Ones Who Want The Most Out Of Their Opportunities.

I Was The Guy On The Swim Team Entertaining The Bus On The Way To The Meets.

I Don't Want Enemies. I Want Friends, And I Want Them In All Shapes, Sizes, And Colors, And Loving Whoever They Want To.

I Never Thought In A Million Years That I'd Ever Sell Out Back-to-back Shows At The Garden. That's Not To Say, I Never Expected My Career To Take Off. Still, It Was A "pinch Me, Wake Me Up" Moment. I Was Like, "wow! I Can't Believe This. That I'm Actually Here, And This Is Actually Happening." And In That Moment, When I Was About To Thank My Fans For Supporting Me, I Noticed That They Were Standing Up Clapping. It Was Overwhelming, And Became A Very Emotional Moment When I Tried To Thank Them.

If You Look At Me In 'ride Along,' Even Though I'm Playing Two Different Characters, My Demeanor And My Tone Were Not Aggressive.

I Think Poetry Can Be A Kind Of Secular Way In Which People Can Be Led To Approach The Difficult Parts Of Their Life, Where There's Been Loss, Where There's Sadness Of A Deep Kind. If Poetry Can Help People To Be More At Ease In Expressing Even To Themselves A Lot Of The Darkness And Pain Of Ordinary Human Existence, Then It's Serving Some Kind Of Cultural Role, Perhaps More Than A Cultural Role, Perhaps It Is Serving Something Of A Spiritual Role.

Winners Are The Ones Who Want The Most Out Of Their Opportunities.

Being Humble Matters.

My Business Acumen Is Definitely Growing.

Believe It Or Not, I Make Myself Laugh. Sometimes When I Have Thoughts Or Say Some Things That Are Funny, It Just Makes Me Laugh, And I Don't Mind Laughing At It Before You Guys Do.

There's Actually A Lot Of Bullshit In My Google Search. They Killed Me In One Of Them! I Died In One Of My Google Searches.

I Would Spend Absolutely Every Last Minute With My Kids, Telling Them How Much I Love Them And How Much I Would Do For Them.

As Soon As We Try To Write The Simplest Sentence About God, We Find Ourselves In Anxious Perplexities, But When We Stop Trying To Write About God And Talk With God, God Is There And We Can Talk With God.

I'm Not A Good Storm-outer... Because I Forget Stuff.

The Day You Stop Doing The Small Things Is The Day You Think You're Above Everybody Else.

Everybody Wants To Be Famous, But Nobody Wants To Put The Work In!!

Hardwork And Determination

In Marriage For Example, You Say 'yes' On The Day You Get Married, 'i Do', But Each Day You Implicitly If Not Explicitly, Also Say 'yes', By Every Act That One Performs In A Marriage, One Is Saying 'yes', Making A Cup Of Coffee For One's Wife Or Husband Is A Form Of Saying 'yes' To The Marriage Vow That One Is Continuing The Marriage By Affirming It In One's Deeds. And Exactly The Same In The Religious Life.

I Can Get Where Some Scientists Would Say Comedians Are Crazy. What You Have To Understand: A Lot Of Comedians Are Dealing With A Dark Passion. A Lot Of These Are Guys Coming From A Tumultuous Life, Including Myself. Some People Need Outlets, A Way To Express Yourself.

I Promise You, I Will Have Something On The Internet That Is Game-changing. I Can't Lose.

My Daughter Doesn't Even Get My Humor. She's Like, 'um, No. I Don't Get It, Dad. Mmm, No, Not That One, Dad.'

I've Done Auditions Where The Casting Director Is Taking The Paper Out Of My Hand In The Middle Of Reading.

Did I Try To Embarrass Other People? Now If It's About Other People, Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty.

I Don't Care How Busy I Am - I Will Always Make Time For What's Most Important To Me.

Comedy's About Opening Up And Being Unique, But To A Point Where The Audience Can Relate To What You're Saying.

For Me, The Way I Stay Consistent Is Through Stand-up Comedy.

When You're In Love, Love Makes You Do Crazy Things, And Can Take You Down A Whirlwind Of A Road.

In My Divorce, I Stood Up And Said To My Ex-wife, 'hey, I Messed Up. This Had Nothing To Do With You. I Didn't Understand What Marriage Was. I Cheated. I Was Wrong. We Couldn't Fix It; It Got Worse. I Stepped Away Because I Didn't Want It To Get Any Worse. You're The Mother Of My Kids - I Don't Want To Hate You.'

When You're Coming Up With New Material, It's Not Always Gonna Be Good. The Only Way To Learn Is For It Not To Get A Laugh, So You Can Adjust It And Come Back The Next Day To See If It's Working Right. Next Time, You Might Get A Different Laugh. You're Constantly Rebuilding.

Hard Work And Determination Equals Success. Nothing Comes Easy. Put Your Mind To Something.
