I never write jokes, I just try to make myself laugh.
At the top of this list has to be "get in that ass". It's the ultimate Leonism to get you through life.
I could never live with you; not 'cause I'm racist or nothing. It's just 'cause as a black man in America, I need to have someone I can come home and complain about white people to. And that just don't work with my white wife.
I'm looking to be the next comedy mogul.
I have to satisfy my audience.
Sad when you spend more time trying to stay alive than living.
You're trying to make someone wet their pants and you're trying to make somebody crap in their pants. That's the motivation of a comic. Who else has that power?
This Italian restaurant I'm at is authentic! When they seat you, they give you a mustache.
Damn! This flight attendant treating us like we won these first class tickets in a contest.
I'm putting on a suit and tie when I go see The Great Gatsby.
There're rules to being the side chick. Rule number one: you're number two.
I did a club one night - the speakers were old as hell. My jokes were coming out in black and white.
I don't consider myself a stand-up comedian. I consider myself a performer; a comic as opposed to stand-up comedian. Stand-up comedians stand there and do their bits; I break every rule in creation. If there's a rule that can be broken in stand-up, I'll do it.
In my stand-up, I've always been loose. If there's a curtain onstage, I'll use that in my act. If there's a door, I'll use the door. I always like to use everything at my disposal, which makes each show a little different and a little more fun.
