funny humor want
I'm in show business... I want to hang out with Janet Jackson, not Jesse Jackson.
independent democratic
I'm an independent, but I got to admit I lean Democratic.
kids men wife
There's no interference in stand-up. It's all the things it's hard to get in film: I get to have a wife, I get to have kids. I get to be sexual. I get to grow. I get to be a man.
basketball crazy years
If you told me two years I would miss the greatest basketball game ever to hang out with Nathan Lane, I'd say, 'You're crazy!'
i-can i-can-do-it can-do
I do what I can do when I can do it.
money people guy
We got no wealthy black people. We got rich people. Shaq is rich. The guy who signs his checks is wealthy.
years order curious
Artistically I'm curious. But in life? No. I can go to a restaurant and order the same thing for 10 years.
liberty pay checks
You don't pay taxes; they take them from your check. That's not a payment - that's a 'jack.
fathers-day kids winning
When you have kids, there's no such thing as quality time. There's just time. There's no, 'Ooh, his graduation's better than going to the mall.' It's all kind of equal. Changing her diaper and her winning a contest - it's all good.
fun writing trying
The thing I try to get across to the writers - and I do a lot of writing, too - is that when I do stand-up, nothing I talk about is funny. Everything is really sad and tragic and then I make it funny.
levels comedy mediums
Stand-up comedy is like the lowest medium in all of show business in levels of respect.
daughter mother kids
I always say about my daughters, they save me from my miserable self. They take me out, you know, a comedian, you could live in your head a lot. And you're writing and you're doubting. But when I'm with my kids and my family, it's all about them.
real mean thinking
Are they real fires? Or are people just reacting to something? Just because there’s an alarm going doesn’t mean it’s a fire. And I think that people are confusing the two. It’s only a fire when it offends the fans, and the fans turn on you. Tosh has fans, and they get the joke. If you’ve watched enough Tracy Morgan, you let the worst thing go by. When did Tracy Morgan become Walter Cronkite? You have to mean something to me to offend me. You can’t break up with me if we don’t date.
