John Witherspoon

I'm every father. I'm not only a black father. I'm a white father. I'm a Chinese father. I'm a Mexican father. I'm all fathers that want their sons out of the house and stop eating up all the food. Get a job, please. Stop looking at the TV.

That's my father's theme. Get up in the morning, 'hello, Dad.' 'Get a job, leave the food alone... Who took my car?' America, you young kids, get a job. All that sagging, the clothes hanging behind, that ain't nothing. Get a job. You want to be somebody, get a job.

The kids of America, please get a damn job. Get out of the house, leave the refrigerator alone. Stop wearing my shoes. Leave my shirts alone, get a job. Spend your own money.

I'm sick of all these boring cooking shows.

In 'Boomerang,' they didn't have a script at all, they just told me to come up with some stuff.

Being on the toilet stool is the grossest thing there is, to me.

The people in general ought to have regard to the moral character of those whom they invest with authority either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches.

The word got out that I can ad-lib very well.

Those who wish well to the State ought to choose to places of trust men of inward principle, justified by exemplary conversation.

I didn't change my voice for 'The Boondocks.'
