I don't do drugs, though. Just weed.
The language you are about to hear... is disturbing.
I got real important relationships in my life that are very empowering relationships.
If I can make a teacher's salary doing comedy, I think that's better than being a teacher.
I enjoy my own thoughts sometimes.
I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds.
I've been a comedian since I was fourteen. But I've never really been a CEO.
Comedy is a very approval-oriented field.
