I Never Do Anything That I Don't Want To Do.
I Feel Like I Have A Job To Do, Like I Constantly Have To Reinvent Myself. The More I Up The Ante For Myself, The Better It Is In The Long Run. I Try To Interact With My Fans As Much As Possible. It's Good That The Person I'm Being Onstage Isn't Really An Act. It's Really Me.
I Don't Think You Get Successful To Brag And Throw What You Have In The World's Face. That's All Private.
I'm Never Gonna Step Away From Stand-up. I Can't. That's What Got Me Where I Am, And That's Also My Muse. That's How I Stay Level-headed. That's What Keeps Me Going.
As A Producer, As A Ceo Of Hartbeat Productions, I Am Making Deals To Put My Company In Place To Win, To Put My Staff To Work So That While All This Stuff Is Going On, They're In The Kitchen Cooking. So It's Understanding The Longevity Of The Entertainment Business; You Get Out Of It What You Put Into It.
At The End Of The Day, Your Fans Are The People Who Support You In And Out. And Their Opinions Matter.
My Kids Are The Funniest Two Human Beings There Are.
Dialogue Means Debates And Everyone's Point Of View.
You See Some Of The Weirdest People In Detroit Casinos.
I Think The Message Has Already Been Sent To Hollywood, Which Is That This Kid's A Hard Worker, He's Talented, And People Are Coming Out To See Him. And When You Have Box-office Results, Hollywood Treats You Different. Hollywood Stands Up.
My Business Acumen Is Definitely Growing.
My Drive Is Other People's Success.
Before I Look Stupid And Not Know What A Word Means Or How To Pronounce It, I'll Stop The Whole Production: 'Hey, Real Quick, Guys. Define This Word For Me. Somebody.'
I Am Who I Am. That's Why My Friends And Peers Respect And Appreciate Me. I Don't Change Or Cater My Actions To Fit My Surroundings. I'm Myself 24/7. People Appreciate That.
When You're Supposed To Be Close And Friends In The Film, The Moment You're Talking As Friends Off The Set, It Makes It That Much Better When You're Filming.
I Love Soft-cotton White T-shirts.
My Show 'The Big House' Was Picked Up; They Flew Me To New York. I'm About To Step On Stage To Announce Kevin Hart's 'The Big House.' And A Hand Grabs My Shoulder, 'Kevin No, They Just Decided To Cancel It.' It's A Serious Smack-in-the-face Business, And Either You Can Take It, Or You Can't.
I Don't See How People Are Comfortable With Seeing Other People Be Great. You Can Be Happy For Anybody, But What Is Your Excuse To Not Want To Be Great? These People Are Great Because They Just Say, 'I'ma Do That,' And They Do It. That's It. There's No Scientifical Process.
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.
I Had A Great Time Being A Salesman Because Of The Pitches That I Gave When I Was Selling Shoes. However, I Don't Think I'm As Well Versed In Shoes As I Am In Comedy. Being A Salesman Was All About Being A People Person, And I Enjoy Being Around People. I Also Love Talking To People - Which Is Why I Think I Did So Well.
I'm Not A Big Politics Guy.
Stand-up Comedy Is Mine: It's My Entity; It's My Brand; I Own It. I Do It When I Want To Do It.
Comedy's About Opening Up And Being Unique, But To A Point Where The Audience Can Relate To What You're Saying.
My Mum Passing Away Wasn't Funny, But That Funeral And What I Went Through, The Things That Happened, Looking Back At It, There Were Funny Moments. You Have To Be Strong Enough To Look Back At It, To Sit And Assess The Situation.
My Kids Are Coming Up In A Different Time Then Me. Interracial Couples Are Of The Norm. With Me, It's About Making Sure My Kids Understand The Importance Of Education And Having Opportunities That I Didn't. My Goal As A Parent Is To Make Sure They Don't Take What They Have For Granted.
I Love Diversity.
I Didn't Work Hard To Sit Down And Not Work.
I Don't Know About Other People, But I Love To Work.
I Can Get Where Some Scientists Would Say Comedians Are Crazy. What You Have To Understand: A Lot Of Comedians Are Dealing With A Dark Passion. A Lot Of These Are Guys Coming From A Tumultuous Life, Including Myself. Some People Need Outlets, A Way To Express Yourself.
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 Took My Daughter To The Father-daughter Dance, And I Cried Like A Little Baby.
At The End Of The Day, Women Are A Distraction. Whether You Realize It Or Not.
I'm A Buffalo Wing Magnet, A Sandwich Fanatic, A Cheesesteak Guy. But I'll Only Get A Cheesesteak In Philadelphia. No One Else Does It Right.
People Who Eat With Their Mouth Open Should Be Punched In The Face.
The Original 'About Last Night' Was Phenomenal.
Some Sarcasm Is Best Told Simply.
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.'
My Success Comes In Making Fun Of Whatever You're Doing. That's My Way.
I Feel Like Whatever You've Done In Your Career, Good Or Bad, It's Nothing But Preparation For The Big Events To Come.
I Get That Racism Exists, But It's Not A Catalyst For My Content. I Don't Need To Talk About Race To Have Material. My Style Of Comedy Is More Self-deprecating. I Think That Makes Me More Relatable. When You Deal With 'Topics' - Race, White Versus Black - You're Not Separating From The Pack. You're Doing What Everybody Else Is Doing.
I Stayed True To My Dreams And, Eventually, They Came True.
I'm Good Friends With Jay Leno, Good Friends With Ed O'neill, Melanie Fiona And Russell Simmons.
Everybody That's Successful Lays A Blueprint Out.
I Like Playing Basketball And Going To The Gym. I Don't Box, But I'll Ride My Bike And Go Jogging Or Running In The Park. Sometimes My Lady And I Go Hiking.
Expect Me To Continue What I've Been Doing, Which Is Trying To Take Over The World.
I Make A Lot Of Expressions Constantly. I'm Animated.
Chris Rock Does The Political Thing Really Well, But That Never Worked For Me.
