Yeah, I don't mess with chicks younger. They got to be almost thirty.

I left Indiana, and I ain't been back since. I've been doing comedy and paying my bills.

I watch old school film so that I can learn so much that I just sort of miss all the new stuff.

I'm gonna have to develop myself. I'm just going to do the best that I can do.

But I'm real conscious about what I do. I don't care what the label is. I'm looking at the outcome of it.

Everybody that's living in this earth is living in a situation. It's not narrow-minded to the point where everybody is serious and nobody has a personality. I think people die telling jokes.

Just the fact that I'm in the game is great. I'm just blessed to be working. I got a plan, but I'm humble and I try to be humble.

I'm humble enough to wait and just chill. I'm having fun just working with these good people, man.

Every now and then you get a nice Jewish kid who likes black people and they would come in, and it would be a stream of them, and have black friends and really feel the black struggle on the acting tip and it's a reason why all of us are not dying in the movie.

I've been with this young lady for about two years now, and my life changed. I don't even think that way no more. I feel good, too, that I'm changed. Now I feel regular. I feel like I'm supposed to.

Yeah, I don't mess with chicks younger. They got to be almost thirty.

She didn't break his heart, but I feel like a man is supposed to be a man, he ain't supposed to be all involved in that. That's why she got sisters and friend for. Just show up with the ring and act right.

I learned that you don't have to be all over the place, that you can be subtle and you can say what you say. The words that you put together can be just as hilarious as falling all over the place or doing something.

I think in life, the sense of humor and comedy always exists.

I'm a survivor of life. I try to give the glory to God and appreciate what's happening to me.

I can remember when I was a baby and my mother was there watching the show. I went and bought 100 episodes and watched them. I respect it so much that the sitcom itself and Ed Norton; I'm not playing Ed Norton but my version of it, cause I'm a black man.

With Ice Cube they ain't no telling. He might have one cocked and loaded, ready to bust. We might do The Sunday, two old men sitting around the house waiting on the social security check.

I love Richard Pryor. I love him to death.

Federal prison, if you get any of it, you're going to have to do 85% of it. And the reason why I called it that is because I had a friend who got sent to the federal joint and his whole... it wasn't about him being in jail. He cried about the 85%.

You know, my life's changed now. I'm starting to experience what people are really supposed to do. You supposed to be married. You're supposed to have a family, kids, treat your wife right.

I'm telling a Richard Pryor story through me.

They have what you call a black night where they have black people come in for just one night only to watch comedy, and you get all your local drug dealers, thugs, prostitutes, all of them come in, sit down, and listen to you tell jokes. They the hardest people to make laugh.

You know, you can't make the people do what you want them to do.

I don't know why people think I'm this ad-lib dude.

Honestly, I feel like I am a leading man, and it's just going to take the right project, the female and the right studio. It's got to all gel together, you know what I mean?

I don't know nothing about no marriages or nothing. I ain't even never been to a wedding.

Cedric, man, it's like if I'm working with you, like I'm sitting here now talking to you, I want to get along with you. That's how I am. I feel like if I get along with you, the work will be splendid.

You would be surprised of films that people just don't see. You know what I mean? I'm always working and I'm a film buff but I'm an old school film buff.

On 'Friday,' I had a big trailer, and we would have a barbecue going and music playing. It was a fun set. There was too much involved for 'The Hangover' to be a fun set. They're trying to get money.

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

I felt the need to get back to painting and I thought the best way was to start drawing, so I enrolled in a life drawing class. I soon discovered that people made very interesting subjects and I am still surprised that I had never discovered it before.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

I've repeatedly voted for sanctions against Iran. And I think all options should be on the table to prevent them from having nuclear weapons.

I don't want to be an artist that gets stuck doing one thing. I don't want to be an artist who people look back at and say, 'His early work was really great.'

We're in this together. We are Americans. We all have to do the best we can. And we will because that's who we are.

I grew up in New York, and I've always been surrounded by fashion. My grandmother used to write for 'Vogue' in the '50s, and my mother was a dancer and a model.

True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited but in adversity they come without invitation.

I also think that I had great mechanics.

I always feel like I've been slightly misunderstood. As a woman, you get judged for appearances or things like that I don't really care about.

I'm sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher.

If I can pay the bills, I'm happy.

I think that horror, in general, is fairly popular. It's definitely popular in film. There's just not a lot of good horror on TV, so whenever there is good horror on TV, people rush to it.

All a writer wants is to be read, and people are so flattering and lovely. I mean, there are witches out there as well. But most are so kind.

Before the war there were many who were more or less ignorant of the international labor movement but who nevertheless turned to it for salvation when the threat of war arose. They hoped that the workers would never permit a war.

Acting can be a great job, but you do have to make up things to do when you're not working.

I remember when I was trying to do 'Metropolitan,' in breaks I would read a page of two of Jane Austen as a palate-cleanser.

I'm just beginning to develop callouses on my fingers, because I haven't played a lot.

Say will the falcon stooping from above Smit with her varying plumage spare the dove Admires the jay the insects gilded wings Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings

I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.
