I'm an authentic person: I can talk about diabetes and how it affects you because I'm actually diabetic, and I know how much help a person needs, whether it's support physically or just understanding and being conscious of what diabetes really is.

If somebody asks you the same questions 25 times, maybe 2,500 times, do you still want to talk about the same thing?

How can another man call another man boss? That's like calling another man 'Daddy.'

I got cribs all over the place and offices all over the place, and sometimes I lose track of my stuff.

The more success you get, you start to be harder on yourself or more afraid of the looking glass. You have to learn to build a thicker skin because people are paying more attention.

I think, in storytelling, people want to see triumph, and so it's usually nice to start with failure and see someone somehow rise above it. People like to see people try. And they like to see people fail for comedy, and they like to see people succeed for the drama and emotion.

I had studied the violin to a certain amount of success. At some point, I realized that I didn't really like the violin. I was only doing it because I could, and I was good at it, and everyone was encouraging me. But I didn't have a great love for it.

If you are a success, you can take care of people; you can give a lot to your community.
