I live life and I don't take it for granted.
I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.
If you don't laugh, you're going to cry and people are crying. That's why I guess you have lots of people like comedians to keep us laughing.
Parents should support and love their kids no matter what.
People are just way too sensitive. You couldn't have a show like 'Archie Bunker' on TV. People would go crazy; they would lose their minds.
When you look at the artists who have come up through 'Billboard' over the years, it's incredible.
I have a pretty diverse audience, and that makes me happy - laughter is universal, and I don't differentiate between people at all. Why should I? People are people. There's no reason why one person can't relate to any other person on this planet in some way or another.
Most people don't know what's happening around them because they're just speeding through life. And before they know it, they're just old. So I just try to slow it down.
Cool is the enemy of funny. You can't be cool and be funny at the same time. Only Eddie Murphy could do that.
I don't control the line of 'funny,' 'funny,' 'funny,' 'not funny.'
I don't have anything against Jimmy Fallon. I love Jimmy Fallon. He's my dude.
My life growing up was a twisted Bronx version of 'The Color Purple.' It had a much different soundtrack and no trees, but that desperation was the same.
If I get some Bruce Lee nun-chucks that he actually used in a movie, those are going in the case. Those will never be used. Those will never be touched.
The further you go, what, I'm gonna wait til I'm 80? Naw, I'm tellin' my story now. I was just moved. I was moved to tell my story. You know? People write books all the time.
