“Having boys is different. Boys, you put sneakers on, and they're out, they're ready. Girls, you gotta pay a little bit more attention to them.”

“I'm glad I dropped out of high school, man. I wouldn't be where I'm at. I would have had a net. I'm glad I didn't have anything to fall back on, man, because that made me go for my dreams that much harder.”

“What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.”

“Life smacks Tracy Morgan in the face, and I don't mean to talk in third party, but no, it doesn't stop raining when I come outside, no, absolutely not. I'm very in touch.”

“My fans would love to see Brian Fellow come back. I love my fans. And they like my edge.”

“You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.”

“To me, politics is a pile of tricks.”

“The paparazzi do what they do, man. They have a job, too.”

“The further you go, what, I'm gonna wait til I'm 80? Naw, I'm tellin' my story now. I was just moved. I was moved to tell my story. You know? People write books all the time.”

“Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses.”

“And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.”

“I've gone through my trials and tribulations, and sure, it's gotten bumpy and all that, but I'm here. OK?”

“It's very important to be in your child's life and know what's going on and be there with them.”

“I think it's good that I get scared because, if you never get scared, you don't have any need for guts.”

“I deal with my sons like young men. If they have a problem with something, they come to me. I am the type of dad that will drop everything I am doing for them, and always tell them to talk to me about it.”

“Even when I'm sitting up in this glass castle, I still got my street soldiers telling me what's happening.”

“Stand-up is my foundation. That's where it started at. And I love it because it's personal. It's mine. It's all me. It's my experience in life.”

“Yeah, race exists. Racism is still here, and it's doing well. Turn on the news. I don't think me and my comedy can really change that.”
