I've actually tried to give Brett Ratner dance lessons, but he thinks he already knows how to. ”

I love traveling. It not only opens my mind up, but it also allows me to use my fame in another way through humanitarian works and stuff, and being an influence around the world. ”

Comedy comes from a place of hurt. Charlie Chaplin was starving and broke in London, and that's where he got his character 'the tramp' from. It's a bad situation that he transformed into comedic one. ”

Georgia was a great place to live, but I wanted to get out because I knew the opportunities for what I was doing - stand-up comedy and eventually acting - were in Los Angeles. ”

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