I love seeing the people that I have worked with reach new career heights.

My goal is to forever do stand up.

I don't feel that America has a black dude right now. I'm that dude.

I have a pretty fresh delivery. I feel that I am probably more of a dramatic actor, but I'm also a comedian. Every day I am polishing up my skills.

I am inspired by the success of those that came to LA around the time that I started.

I hate to force anything. A lot of people say that comedy is twenty percent truth, and eighty percent fallacy. I believe that you have to have lived through something to write about it.

I'm thankful for all of my opportunities. But I'm not trying to have a career where I am hanging on one of Dr. Drew's rehab shows. I can go home.

There is a lot that I will not do in Hollywood.

The money is not my mission.

My mantra is that I can go back home at anytime. I have a degree, I am smart, and I am honest. I care about my career and what I do, yet I know my lane and where I desire to go.

As I observe my daily life and that of others, I have come to the conclusion that genuine joy is a potent mixture of harsh reality, and the realization that life can be funny.

Does a population have informed consent when that population is not taught the inner workings of its monetary system, and then is drawn, all unknowing, into economic adventures?

Do not wish to be anything but what you are.

Anything can be done if you find friends to do it with. The lucky biographers find themselves drawn into a sort of friendship with their subject.

I'm in San Francisco because of the energy, the ideas, and the fact that this is a great place for me to land. When I'm traveling and working nationally, I love coming back here.

But doing what I do, you will never get unanimity of people.

A choice with no consequences has no value. Making a choice knowing there will be consequences, and being willing to bear them, is what distinguishes the right choices from the wrong ones.

...in place of seeking a reason for going abroad, I would prefer to say that I have failed to discover any reason why I should stay at home.

A studio, like a poem, is an intimacy and a freedom you can look out from, into each part of your life and a little beyond.

That means I gotta fly like a movie no commercial That's Young Money, Cash Money yeah I'm universal

We live and learn, or, perhaps more importantly we learn and live.
