If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that curiosity might kill cats, but it doesn't kill people.
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.
God gave us dreams, but he gave us kids to make all those dreams worthwhile. And when I look at all my kids, I say everything that I've ever went through in my life was worthwhile.
If you can get your life down to one minute at a time, you don't miss anything. You have total abundance of information and material.
When I want to work on my material, I go to Benihana or the barbershop.
Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. You have to see how you're carrying yourself because there's a little girl. There's not a little boy, there's a little girl. I think I'm a little more overprotective.
It's like going to the zoo when you come to my house. I have snakes, three sharks, moray eels, piranhas, five scorpions and a bird spider.
So I think all comedians are earning their wings into heaven. We're all going to heaven, but everybody's not going to get their wings. Some people are just going to be regular angels. Doing cleanup, janitor work. In heaven, I'm going to sit on the couch with Oprah.
People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We're losing all of our communication skills.
Having boys is different. Boys, you put sneakers on, and they're out, they're ready. Girls, you gotta pay a little bit more attention to them.
You have to be highly intelligent to get away with a dumb joke. That takes a pretty smart fella.
I'm not a child star, but you could say that I've grown up on TV. I went from being an unknown, down-and-out comic from Brooklyn and the Bronx to being a regular character on a major network comedy called 'Martin.' From there I went on to become the most notable black comic on 'Saturday Night Live' since Eddie Murphy.
What am I afraid of? The IRS. That's it. I don't want those people knockin' on my door, man.
I know my spirit is not mean, and I have a very good spirit and a funny spirit.
