I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.

Making people laugh is giving, and it's healing, too, when people can go up to the movies and forget about their problems. It's a good thing. That's why I want to work.

You loan your friend money. You see them again, they don't say nothin' 'bout the money. 'Hi, how ya doin'? How's ya mama doing?' Man, how's my money doin'?

Just believe in yourself and work really hard. And when doors open, take advantage of every opportunity you can.

When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.

I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.

I want to keep working, I want to keep doing my humanitarian stuff around the world, shining light on different places that have problems. Keep making movies, make people laugh.

One thing about me, when I make a decision about something, I realize when you make choices in life, that dictates your life.

It takes intelligence to make real comedy, and it takes a reality base to create all that little stuff I like to do that makes you giggle inside.

My mom raised me to never have anything control me.

I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.

You need to learn how to walk the world, he told me. There's a lot out there.

Patience guarantees project that will last for generations.

My parents, Gary and Patricia, let me be in my world. They never told me what I couldnt do. It helped me adapt in a positive way.

There is always one true inner voice. Trust it.

I like newspapers. Maybe the iPad is very modern and everything, and I'm not against it, but I like the physical contact. And the physical contact of metal and glass is not as sensuous as paper.

VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins.

Abstinence is the great strengthener and clearer of reason.

But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.

Millions have been taken from me. If you are not on top of it and you make a lot of money, and you trust business managers, then, yes, money will be taken from you.

I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
