You can cry, ain't no shame in it.

I had a hit single on the radio for 30 days before I graduated from high school.

In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.

I want the world to be better because I was here.

I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

I'm a student of world religion, so to me, it's hugely important to have knowledge and to understand what people are doing.

There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?

If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don't think there's anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.

Tommy Lee Jones is hilarious. I would say, if you look at the body of his work, the character he is most like is the one in 'The Fugitive.' That's how he talks and jokes. That is the type of energy he has.

Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there.

I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.

I’m a student of patterns. At heart, I’m a physicist. I look at everything in my life as trying to find the single equation, the theory of everything.

If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.

The first time that I performed as an actor was the first day on the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'

As a child, I watched 'Dallas' and that was my vision for my life for as long as I could remember.

My school was 90 percent white, but 90 percent of the kids I played with were black. So I got the best of both worlds. I think that is where my comedy developed.

The Bible talks about your spirit being immortal, that you were created for existence beyond your physical body. Well, that's no different from Scientology! I don't think that because the word someone uses for spirit is thetan that the definition becomes any different.
