I am inspired by the success of those that came to LA around the time that I started.

My goal is to forever do stand up.

I don't feel that America has a black dude right now. I'm that dude.

I have a pretty fresh delivery. I feel that I am probably more of a dramatic actor, but I'm also a comedian. Every day I am polishing up my skills.

I love seeing the people that I have worked with reach new career heights.

I hate to force anything. A lot of people say that comedy is twenty percent truth, and eighty percent fallacy. I believe that you have to have lived through something to write about it.

I'm thankful for all of my opportunities. But I'm not trying to have a career where I am hanging on one of Dr. Drew's rehab shows. I can go home.

There is a lot that I will not do in Hollywood.

The money is not my mission.

My mantra is that I can go back home at anytime. I have a degree, I am smart, and I am honest. I care about my career and what I do, yet I know my lane and where I desire to go.

As I observe my daily life and that of others, I have come to the conclusion that genuine joy is a potent mixture of harsh reality, and the realization that life can be funny.

You make name for yourself when you overcome pain, weakness, laziness and ignorance

The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.

I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained.

...sunlight is (life and day are)only loaned:whereas night is given(night and death and the rain are given;and given is how beautifully snow)

Explore everything; keep the best

I'm an old-school type of guy.

I don't know how else to tell the story except to utilise that vocabulary: the rain, the darkness, the mansions, the framing, etc, the lighting and that sort of thing.

C++ is a ridiculously complicated travesty that few have the excess IQ points to understand enough not to screw up massively.

The historic function of a Senator from Oregon is to drive all the other Senators mad.

Next to eating good dinners, a healthy man with a benevolent turn of mind, must like, I think, to read about them.
