Sometimes I wonder if I got lulled into not wanting things because I grew up black in this country.

The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.

Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.

I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being.

The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of.

As a kid I was short and only weighed 95 pounds. And though I was active in a lot of Sports and got along with most of the guys, I think I used comedy as a defense mechanism. You know making someone laugh is a much better way to solve a problem than by using your fists.

I have been lucky enough to work in all kinds of comedy. I prefer working with other people. I could never do stand-up.

It's tough to do comedy. After 'Mister', my inhibitions with respect to comedy have come down.
