Smart is knowing if you're dumb. Knowing when to shut up and to listen to people that are smarter than you.

You won’t be able to take your eyes off the next four presenters: Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz.
real smoking clubs
I'll go back to comedy clubs when they get a real no-camera policy, the same way they did with smoking.
funny gun men
White man makes guns? No problem. Black rapper says "gun"? Congressional hearing.
movie law actors
Dude, I didn't say Jude Law can't act. I didn't say Jude Law was in bad movies. I just said he's in every movie.
comedy wanted
By the time I was 7 or 8, I wanted to be a comedy writer.

Oprah is rich; Bill Gates is wealthy. If Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with Oprah's money, he'd jump out of a ... window and slit his throat on the way down saying, 'I can't even put gas in my plane!'
comedian bills firsts
Bill Cosby was the first comedian I was exposed to, because he doesn't curse.

Kennedy didn't beat Nixon. Satire beat Nixon.

Black comics, they only watch Black comedians. You're a comedian; you're not just a Black comedian. You're a comedian. I try to get that through to everybody.
two parent world
If you live with a single parent, you don't see compromise. You witness a grown person living in a world where they do what they want to do. When you are raised by two parents, you are constantly watching compromise take place. Just by observing that, it made me a better person.
