A man is only as faithful as his options.

Right now, my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.

Every town has the same two malls: the one white people go to and the one white people used to go to.

Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders.

I don't get high, but sometimes I wish I did. That way, when I messed up in life I would have an excuse. But right now there's no rehab for stupidity.

You don't pay taxes - they take taxes.

Everyone has favorite criminals. Mine are pimps. We can all rob a bank; we can all sell drugs. Being a pimp is a whole other thing.

A man is only as faithful as his options.

I'm in show business... I want to hang out with Janet Jackson, not Jesse Jackson.

Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn't even the star of his own Halloween special.

Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?

George Bush hates midgets.

If a woman tells you she's twenty and looks sixteen, she's twelve. If she tells you she's twenty-six and looks twenty-six, she's damn near fourty.

Who's judging American Idol? Paula Abdul? Paula Abdul judging a singing contest is like Christopher Reeve judging a dance contest!

America is the greatest country in the whole world.

Anything I say about women, I try to make sure that at least five or six friends of mine are going through a similar situation. That way I'm not picking on my wife.

Anything you can suck at should make you nervous.

Being with my kids is the best, most fun thing; it's a privilege.

Bill Cosby was the first comedian I was exposed to, because he doesn't curse.

Black people have been qualified to be president for hundreds of years. George Washington Carver could have been president. I could go on with a list of black men that were qualified to be the president of the United States. So the Obama victory is progress for white people.

I can't cook, but I have a nice book of menus... and I can plate and set the table.

I don't believe I can offend you in a comedy club. I don't believe I can offend you in a concert. A comedy club is a place where you work out material; you're trying material.

I have my own demons and dark moods. It's weird.

I have no idea what my best material is. Different people like different things. I'll say this: The political stuff gets the press, but the relationship jokes sell all the seats.

I kind of keep my personality in my pocket a lot. When I start to do stand-up, that's not my true personality either. It's the personality of a guy who hasn't been able to say what he wanted to say.

I live way below my means.

I love being famous. It's almost like being white.
