The day you stop doing the small things is the day you think you're above everybody else.

The second time around I'll understand that, as a husband, my wife doesn't care about my opinions. I just need to tell her the things that will continue to help me stack the brownie points.

No man wants to settle down. It happens. Eventually you're going to bump into somebody that makes you go, 'Hmm, I don't mind seeing this person every day.'

All men hate the nagging.

I learned from the guys before me -- Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, just to name a few. These are guys that let it all hang out. What they lived is what they took to the stage.

Life is too short to worry about what others say about you. Have fun and give them something to talk about.

I'm happy about working; I'm happy about gracing the stage and coming out and making people laugh. I never treat it like a job or feel that way. It's the best thing ever to me, and I feel like a kid in a candy store.

My drive is other people's success.

Chris Rock does the political thing really well, but that never worked for me.

The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.

The same thing I did in 2013 is what I'm trying to do in 2014, which is continue to improve, continue to shock people. You know, I have several projects coming up between 2014 and 2015, and hopefully by 2015, I'll have another hour of stand-up material where I'll be able to go on the road and tour again.

Believe it or not, I make myself laugh. Sometimes when I have thoughts or say some things that are funny, it just makes me laugh, and I don't mind laughing at it before you guys do.

Take me seriously. Take me and my role seriously. Take my talent seriously.

The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.

My daughter doesn't even get my humor. She's like, 'Um, no. I don't get it, Dad. Mmm, no, not that one, Dad.'

You might be the funniest guy in the world, but if you don't have anything to talk about, people are eventually going to gravitate towards the guy that's actually saying something.

I don't think comedy will ever die.

If you want to appeal to everyone, you can't do a world tour and expect black people to show up at every date -- when you're in Australia, when you're in Dubai, when you're in Indonesia.

You can do the same thing with $20 million that you would do with $50 million. So at a certain point in your life and in your career, you realise that it's not about the money.

I love diversity.
