Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed. ”

I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble. ”

I was not the popular kid in school. ”

I wanted to be a comedian, and this is what I'm doing. If I can keep this going, I'm happy. ”

I'm always very happy to talk to people. I relate to people, and the guy on stage is very much the guy that's off stage. People know when it's fake. ”

I want to get so famous that I don't have to wake up in the morning. It'll probably never happen. ”

I started riding the whole 'fluffy' train, and it's a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl 'fat,' yo, she'll raise hell, but if you say, 'Aw girl, look at you, you're fluffy,' there's almost a sexy appeal to it. ”

Comedy is my passion. I'm going to do this until I drop. ”

Connecting with people is not hard. I love the interaction and the feedback after shows. It does take some time, but the fans appreciate it which makes it worth it. ”

As far as guys who perform onstage, I love Chris Rock. I'm kind of jaded on everyone else. ”
