All women like to look up to their men.
I don't even deal with politics. I just don't believe in them. I think politics are politricks. My whole thing is power to the people. I don't put my faith in any one man. I keep my faith in God. That's where I keep my faith.
I love Ice Cube and Charlie Day. They're brilliant men, great actors and very funny people.
I deal with my sons like young men. If they have a problem with something, they come to me. I am the type of dad that will drop everything I am doing for them, and always tell them to talk to me about it.
What am I afraid of? The IRS. Thats it. I dont want those people knockin on my door, man.
Everything I talk about in stand-up is my experiences as an American, as a father, as a husband, as a black man, as a human being.
People walked out on Richard Pryor and he's the funniest man alive.
It gets scary when you're dealing with people who don't know how to separate fact from fiction.
Rock bottom for some people is death. Some people never learn from their mistakes. They don't learn from other people's mistakes.
When Richard Pryor did comedy, it was like he was having a conversation.
My father was the role model I looked up to. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me, he was still a rock star.
If you're the kind of person who likes numbers and statistics, I'm the long shot - the Lotto Powerball winner. I'm the mutation in the DNA that makes evolution a reality. I am the new black.
You gotta understand, my great-grandfather was German and Irish. My grandmother was Indian, and my grandfather was African-American, so we all got a little something in us.
Everybody's out to get something from somebody. 'Gold diggers' doesn't just mean money, it can mean time, it can mean feelings. It can mean anything when you're taking and not giving. When people don't know how to reciprocate.
