I Feel Like I Have A Job To Do, Like I Constantly Have To Reinvent Myself. 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.

What Women Need To Understand Is That Men Don't Communicate. It's Not Intentional Or On Purpose. We're Just Not As Emotional. You Ladies Feel Like You Have To Express Yourselves.

My Fans Saw Me Get Engaged, Saw Me Make That Woman My Wife, Me Having Kids, Me Divorcing, Me Talking About Divorce Before The Divorce, Me Talking About My Kids' Reaction To That Divorce.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I Like The Fact That Now My Understanding For Entertainment And The Entertainment Business Is Completely Different From What It Was When I First Came In. I Get The Business Side Of It.

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.

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.

Being Humble Matters.

My Business Acumen Is Definitely Growing.

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.

Here's The Thing. We Do A Movie With A Predominantly Black Cast, And It's Put In A Category Of Being A Black Film. When Other Movies Are Done With A Predominantly White Cast, We Don't Call Them A White Film. I'm Trying To Remove The Stigma Off Things They Call Black Films.

I'm Not A Big Politics Guy.

When I Got Into The Business Of Entertainment, I Did It For A Reason. I Didn't Do It To Not Be Successful. I Did It To Be Successful. And To Hopefully Get To The Highest Level That I Possibly Could. Thus Far, I'm Achieving Those Goals. That Doesn't Make You Stop. That Doesn't Make You Complacent. It Makes You Want To Do More.

My Dad Was Never Married. He Was Kind Of A Rolling Stone. But He Was Never Disrespectful. At The Same Time, Even Though He Had Women In His Life When I Was A Kid, There Wasn't Any Consistency.

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.

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.

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.

I'm Sure Everyone Knows Now That Only A Few Have Performed In Madison Square Garden. That List Is So Small. Now I'm On That List. I'm A Part Of A Very Small Group, Which Is Unbelievable. You Relish In That Moment For A Second.

My Goals Are So High That I Don't Have Time To Relax, In Any Way Shape Or Form.

My Kids Are Coming Up In A Different Time Then Me. Interracial Couples Are Of The Norm. With Me, It's About Making Sure My Kids Understand The Importance Of Education And Having Opportunities That I Didn't. My Goal As A Parent Is To Make Sure They Don't Take What They Have For Granted.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Everything Is An Open Book. I Don't Speak On Other People's Hardship, But If It Happened In My Life Or Something That Has Been An Experience On My Particular Journey, I'm Going To Talk About It. That's What My Fan Base Appreciates The Most. I'm Universal. You Can Relate To The Things I Say Or That I Go Through.

Sports Are Basically Our Way Of Feeling Sorry For Ourselves. Most Men Can't Become Athletes. We're Watching Guys Who Actually Made It. We See Them Dunking And Making Touchdowns. Then We Think About Ourselves When We Were Younger.

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

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.

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.

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

Overnight Success

I Think Poetry Has Started To Take On A Supplementary Role Of Prayer For Some People. The Churches, I Think, Including My Own, Are Terrible At Teaching People How To Pray. It May Be That We Need To Learn From The Ground Up As Religious People, Whether Christian Or Not, How To Pray.

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.

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.

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.

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 Know A Dramatic Role Is Going To Happen, But You Just Got To Be Patient, You Know? It's Going To Happen When It's Supposed To Happen. I'm Not Rushing It. I'm Not Trying To Make It Happen Tomorrow.

When You're In These Movie Deals And The Studios Are Talking, They're Putting Business Deals And Packages Together, But They're Making Calls Based On Previous Relationships. They Go, "oh, Let's Call This Actor Because We Did This With Him, And He Might Like Him. Does He Like Him? Let's Piece Them Together." There's A Brain Behind That Puzzle, And I Want To Be The Brain.

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

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

The Most Exciting Thing In The World To Me Is That I'm Doing What I Love To Do, And That I'm Successful Doing It. Pursuing My Dream And Executing It Is Exciting To Me.

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

Dialogue Means Debates And Everyone's Point Of View.

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

My Daughter Has Impressions That She Does Of Me.

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

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.

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.

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

How The Hell Do You Wake Up Dead?

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.

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.

Just Because Your Environment Or Living Space Changes Doesn't Mean That Your Attitude Necessarily Has To Change.

People Like To Hear The Word 'love.'

Really, I Don't Like Roller Coasters.

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.

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.

Men Are Like Lions. We Hunt.

I'm Trying To Maintain A Level Of Realness That My Fans Can Appreciate.

When You Work Hard And You Treat People Great, Regardless Of What It Is That You're Doing, Naturally People Want To Help And Do Things.

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.'

Take Me And My Role Seriously. Take My Talent Seriously.

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.

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

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

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."

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

You've Gotta Understand That With Branding And The Way Things Are Promoted, In Our Day And Age, Your Older Movie Stars Are Not Reachable Or Accessible Because They're Not A Part Of The Whole Social Media World.

My Twitter Reflects What's Going On With Me In My Life.

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

Cheese Sandwiches

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

My Main Goal Is To Be A Self-made Man And Have Control Over What's Mine.

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.

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.

The End Of The Day

I Love Making People Laugh. And I Love Laughing.

I'm Pretty Much An Open Book. I've Pretty Much Talked About Anything I'm Going Through Onstage. Between Interviews And Curious Fans, I've Been Asked Everything. And I Always Give Answers. I Don't Shy Away From Anything.

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.'

The Good Thing About Having Chemistry Is, When You Get To The Improv Section Of A Scene, You've Got Somebody To Feed Off. It Can Go On And On And On, And The Sky's The Limit.

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

I Don't Think You Get Successful To Brag And Throw What You Have In The World's Face. That's All Private.

I Had One Incident Where My Daughter Said That A Girl Asked If She Was A Brown Person. I Said, 'we're Black. You Have Black People, White People, Chinese People, Hispanic People; We're All Brought Up Differently.'

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

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

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

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.

Men And Women Do Think Differently, And Frankly, We Don't Understand Each Other. Not At All! But That's What Makes Relationships So Amazing.

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

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

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

Laughter Heals All Wounds, And That's One Thing That Everybody Shares. No Matter What You're Going Through, It Makes You Forget About Your Problems. I Think The World Should Keep Laughing.

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

No Matter What, People Grow. If You Chose Not To Grow, You're Staying In A Small Box With A Small Mindset. People Who Win Go Outside Of That Box. It's Very Simple When You Look At It.

The Racehorses Assemble At The Starting Barrier In All The Finery Of A Mediaeval Pageant, The Jockeys In Silks Like Figures From A Tarot Pack, The Bookies In Leather And Tweeds Standing Beside Their Boards Each Confident That The Future Has Been Controlled.

I've Pushed Several Women In Front Of Violent Situations. My Rule Is Save Myself First.

I Love Being On Stage, I Love Being Able To Tell A Story, I Love The Fact That The Audience Listens And Laughs At It. It Makes Me Happy, And It's What I Live For.

Genuinely Love Doing Standup And I'm A Comedian First, So For Me What Makes My Standup Special Is The Fact That I Don't Have To Adapt Or Adjust. I Am Who I Am. I Appeal To Everyone, Hence In The Movie Doing A World Tour.

Going Through My Divorce Has Changed Who I Am In My Understanding Of What's Good And Bad In Relationships.

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.

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

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

Often Poetry, Especially The Sort Of Poetry I Write, Is Concerned With Looking At The Borders Between The Sensual And The Spiritual And Seeing Them As Divided, Equivocal, That Mystery Somehow Can Break In To The Ordinary. And We Read Poetry I Think In Part, To Gain A Sense Of That Intimacy With Things That We Can't Understand That Are Unable To Be Understood But That Buoy Up Our Lives.

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.

The Best Feeling In The World Is Seeing The Benefits And Rewards Of Hard Work.

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

You Don't Want To Pigeonhole Yourself.

I Learned From The Guys Before Me - Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, Just To Name A Few. These Are Guys That Let It All Hang Out. What They Lived Is What They Took To The Stage.

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 Know How I Get Hard. Running On A Treadmill Behind Women In A Gym Normally Does It For Me.

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

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

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.

The Most Important Thing For A Director Is Being Able To Communicate.

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.

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.

My Goals Are So High.

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.

I'm More Of A Realist When It Comes To Life, And I'd Much Rather My Mother Be In A Spiritual Place In Heaven Than In A Bed, Sick, Fighting For Her Life.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I'm Good Friends With Jay Leno, Good Friends With Ed O'neill, Melanie Fiona And Russell Simmons.

I'm Very Scary. I'm A Menace.

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.

I Try To Be Funny And Not Ignorant.

I Wanna Produce, Write, And Direct My Own Projects, And Eventually Fund Them. I Wanna Be A Mogul.
