I know about hip-hop culture, whether it's graffiti writing or DJ-ing or being an MC.
I grew up as a really sick kid; I had really bad childhood asthma and was at home all the time in New York.
To me, there's nothing greater than making people laugh.
I do work too hard sometimes, but my mom is such an inspiration. She tells me to 'chill out' and not take things so seriously. She will say: 'Go and have a massage.
I'm not built for war. I'm built for entertainment. I'm built for jokes - either telling them or being the butt of them.
Gratuitous fat jokes always hurt, no matter what.
I was raised by a single mother.
With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.
My favorite actor is Sir Ben Kingsley - nobody is as good as him, in my opinion. I think he's so good as an artist.
I need to gain a lot more experience. I think so much of being a director, other than the technical aspect and the artistry of it, is the confidence that you are, I think in many ways, you're the captain of the ship.

Sometimes I don't want to go out and socialize; I just want to watch my favorite shows and comedians. But then I have to remember that it is important to participate in life if you want to portray real life on screen.
Method Man, for him to offer me the spot as the first Jewish member of the Wu Tang Clan, you know, was an honor.
There is a challenge of doing something new. Sometimes you have to suspend whether you believe in yourself doing it and just give yourself over to the idea that they believe in you.
