“Almost anything can be funny if said the right way - but it has to be said the right way.”

“I try to be funny and not ignorant.”

“Everybody that's successful lays a blueprint out.”

“The beauty of me being on stage is I have a voice.”

“I'm not the most attractive fella. I'm not a Billy Dee Williams. Personality is everything.”

“People like to hear the word 'love.'”

“Whatever is on the page is what I'm married to. I'm very prepared. I'm a thespian. I don't like to improv. I don't like to go off course 'cause I think that's where stuff happens. When you stick to the material 'cause it's written so well, that's where the magic happens.”

“In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, 'Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn't understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn't fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn't want it to get any worse. You're the mother of my kids - I don't want to hate you.'”

“I'm a Buffalo wing magnet, a sandwich fanatic, a cheesesteak guy. But I'll only get a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. No one else does it right.”

“I love diversity.”

“Comedy Central was a great network, but 'Chappelle's Show' took it to a completely different level. Other shows got bigger because so many viewers were watching the 'Chappelle' reruns. For BET, the 'Real Husbands of Hollywood' has that same potential.”

“If you look at me in 'Ride Along,' even though I'm playing two different characters, my demeanor and my tone were not aggressive.”

“People don't want to hear about me having leather walls or gold toilets.”

“I'm a businessman as well as an entertainer. The reason why is because I want to own whatever I'm doing. I don't want to work for other people forever.”

“I think the whole stigma of 'black movies' is slowly being lost. When you look at movies like '12 Years A Slave,' to 'The Butler,' to 'The Best Man,' to 'Ride Along,' to even 'Think Like a Man' from last year - these movies are just good movies.”

“I stayed true to my dreams and, eventually, they came true.”

“Hollywood has a way of making everything seem like an overnight success.”

“You see some of the weirdest people in Detroit casinos.”

“You don't want to pigeonhole yourself.”

“I understand that being able to appeal to the public and having an amazing sense of humour is not something that comes easy. It's definitely a gift and for which I'm thankful.”
