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.

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

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.

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.

A make believe life doesn't win friends and influence people. It bores the crap out of those living the dream.

In any language it is a struggle to make a sentence say exactly what you mean.

We have to find new ways to work without permission, new ways to turn corners and go through doors that are closed off to us to create our own audiences and our own material independently.

Our true identity is to love without fear and insecurity. Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in that direction. The power of love and compassion transforms insecurity.

The only thing one can give an artist is leisure in which to work. To give an artist leisure is actually to take part in his creation.

The cause of all pain and suffering is ignorance.

I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

There's nothing more terrifying than an actor who comes with an idea.

Ive always been really inspired by watching top athletes putting in peak performances.

A Marine is never intimidated.
