Everybody That's Successful Lays A Blueprint Out.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The Thing About Impressing Your Girlfriend Is That When You Do Something Like A Private Island In Fiji, It's All Downhill From That Point.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

What? Okay, Back Up. How In The Hell Do You 'turn Up Missing'?

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.

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.

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.

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

Having Other Comedians Complimenting My Work Is The Biggest Accolade That I Can Get.

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.'

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.

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

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

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

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

I've Been Known To Preach.

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

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.

In Comedy, My Strengths Are Improvisation.

I Just Don't Believe People Can Tame Animals.

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."

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I Am Capable Of Holding The Quote-unquote 'title' Of Leading Man. Leading Man Just Means People Want To See You And Assume That You Can Hold A Film, Carry A Movie.

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

My Goals Are So High.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

I Go Onstage And I Talk, And I Remember What I'm Saying, And I Track It.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

My Rule Is To Save Myself First.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

My Success Comes In Making Fun Of Whatever You're Doing. That's My Way.

I've Turned Down Shows Offering Large Amounts Of Money.

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.'

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 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.

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

I Don't Have Ex's! I Have Y's. Like 'y The Hell Did I Date You?!

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

I Love Making People Laugh. And I Love Laughing.

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

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'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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Almost Anything Can Be Funny If Said The Right Way - But It Has To Be Said The Right Way.

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

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.

You Get One Life. I'm Going To Embrace Mine.

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.

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

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

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

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.

You've Got To Put Yourself In Positions To Take Away What Can Be Said.

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

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.

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 Don't Use Twitter For Bad.

My Daughter Has Impressions That She Does Of 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.

There Was One Incident At A Movie Theater Where My Girl Got Mad At These Guys Who Were Talking Behind Us. I Never Looked Back There, But She Was Like, 'will You All Just Shut Up!' And I Just Got Up And Moved Three Rows In Front. She Was Like, 'what Are You Doing?!' I Was Like, 'you Better Get Up Here! I Don't Play The Fighting Games.'

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

'best Man Holiday' Was A Very Successful Film.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I Love Soft-cotton White T-shirts.

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

I Didn't Want To Lift Weights And Get All Big; I Just Wanted To Get Cut.

I'm Not Going To Stop Having Problems.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Men Are Like Lions. We Hunt.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At The End Of The Day, Your Fans Are The People Who Support You In And Out. And Their Opinions Matter.

The End Of The Day

When People Get Married Young, You Don't Really Understand The True Definition Of Marriage.

People Like To Hear The Word 'love.'

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

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

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

If You Look At Me Close Enough, There's A Small Resemblance To A Chicken Nugget. I Don't Know If It's My Skin Texture Or My Hair, But The Resemblance Is Definitely There.

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.

My Brother Tried To Explain Sex To Me When I Was 7 - And He Did It With A Cup.

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

If You Want To Appeal To Everyone, You Can't Do A World Tour And Expect Black People To Show Up At Every Date - When You're In Australia, When You're In Dubai, When You're In Indonesia.

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.

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.

The Kind Of Love That God Has For Us, I Think, Is Of An Infinite Longing For Union, And The Kind Of Love That God Wants Us To Have For Him, I Think, Is Of This Also Endless Longing. Now In Eros We Lose Ourselves. I Think Erotic Love Transforms Us, But It Does So Only Momentarily. It Has To Be Embedded In Something Much Longer, A Much Bigger Narrative Called Marriage Or Durable Relationship Or Something Like That.

Everybody Wants To Be Famous, But Nobody Wants To Do The Work. 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.

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

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