I was good at keeping my mother from crying.
I love my daughter, but there's a certain feeling, a certain emotion when you got a granddaughter, you know?
I don't have no story. Everybody wants this Hollywood story, but the world don't owe you nothing, man. It's what you owe the world.
I'm funny. I'm a comedian. I'm not a clown.
If I can tell someone a story that makes them bend over and laugh, that's bigger than anything else.
When I started in the clubs, I had to work places where didn't nobody else want to work. I had to do clubs where street gangs were, had to do motorcycle gangs, gay balls and things of that nature.
Shut up before I drop yo ass off at Koreatown. Now hold on, America, don't start writing no letters. I'm just kidding. But am I lying?
My family are police officers, detectives. My brother Mitch is FBI. Mitch is like that - a stern enforcer.
I've never been no superficial cat.
Stand-up is what I am; stand-up is what made me.
When I go onstage, I want to relieve your mind, your pressures.
I have so much respect for what's funny.
I want to do something that people can really say, 'Hey, man, that was good, I'm proud of you, I'm proud of that.' 'Pride' and 'Transformers' and things like that.
Comedy has been so good to me.
