When I turned about 12 or 13, I realised that being funny wasn’t about remembering jokes. It was about creating them.

I can’t even lie: Sometimes, I be antisocial.

Perfecting your craft is one of the main keys in being successful.

No matter where I’m at in life, whether I’m in the music industry, rich, poor, everybody need love in their life. Gangsta or not, everybody need love in their life. You can’t act too hard about that.
