I like glazed donuts.

Nick Cage is so underrated.

Comedians play off of social commentary.

The millennial generation is very vocal.

'Crashing' was my first scripted TV gig.

I like whatever I'm doing to have depth.

Man, that's all I can do, just be myself.

I started pursuing stand-up comedy in 12th grade.

I was raised watching sitcoms, and I love long-form comedy.

My parents argued a lot. It was pretty tumultuous at times.

Growing up, I've always made a point to not be placed in a box.

Knowing what jokes will work is second nature; you just feel it.

As comics if you aren't rubbing people the wrong way, to me, you suck.

Flying is just such a hassle. If I had a million dollars, I would teleport.

I'm a comic; we get hecklers every night! It's really just part of the job.

You don't expect to be touched by comedy. But when it happens, it's beautiful.

I do everything with a purpose, and I don't really pay attention to the negativity.

Dave Chappelle - he's one of my favorite icons. I can't think of anyone who's funnier.

I'm a '90s kid. I can't wait until the day when more people start appreciating the '90s.

Comics are just mirrors. People can either laugh at the reflection or be disgusted by it.

I'm pretty much a comic that dwells on what happened to me instead of what's happening to me.

I love comedy, but more than that, I love comedy that has a message and that has some stakes.

Humor and comedy have always been the best way to deal with real life issues and just reality.

I used to record 'Futurama' episodes on my cassette player and play it to help me go to sleep.

I just love pranks, man. They're great. I don't understand why people don't do 'em more often.

I've never been the guy to sit back and wait until someone approved something I was passionate about.

I believe the more you talk about everyday issues, the more it helps other people deal with it themselves.

I've always loved the idea of the rookie cop vs. the grizzled veteran. A lot of comedy can be mined from that.

You can't teach standup comedy. You can teach someone how to formulate a joke, but making it funny is different.

We can all agree that the best part of 'Black Panther' was his female army, the Dora Milaje. They made the movie.

I grew up around a mix of a lot of people, so I got a lot of different perspectives. As a kid, I appreciated that.

Spider-Man is supposed to be 'neighborhood friendly,' but I've never seen that dude at a Black Lives Matter march.

I'm a movie fanatic. I watch probably four movies a day - not because I'm a lunatic, but because I just love movies.

I did my first set at a talent show, and I couldn't finish because the judges didn't like my jokes. They were 'offensive.'

I want to star in an action-comedy, like 'The Rock' or 'Con Air.' Those are the movies I wanted to star in since I was a kid.

Black Panther is a cool superhero and all, but let's be honest: He doesn't quite have the legs to prop up a blockbuster on his own.

Humor was how I got through everything in my life. I used to find a funny way to get out of situations. That's who I was. That's who I am!

I have a lot of energy, and as you get to know me, you will quickly learn that! I channel my energy into my acting, my writing, everything.

I was always causing trouble in school. Doing impressions of Bart Simpson, interrupting class - I liked the attention and entertaining people.

I was the black kid in school who'd skate and wrestle, who was really into outer space and botany and kung fu and hip-hop. I was into everything.

When you chase a dream, and no one understand or has your back except seven friends from high school and your grandma, it's not going to be easy.

I probably wouldn't have pursued comedy further if my friends didn't tell me that my getting kicked off the stage was the funniest thing they'd ever seen.

I don't know what the secret to doing standup well is, but I do know the goal is to be yourself as much as possible. And working harder than everyone else.

I wanted people to know that my grandmother was the reason why I did comedy in the first place. She pushed me to really get out there and pursue my dreams.

I've always navigated my way around the comedy writing rooms because I didn't want to cater to this side and that side; I just wanted to be liked by everybody.

I grew up in a very, very diverse neighborhood back home in Maryland. And when I see that on TV shows, it makes me want to watch it, personally. I just gravitate towards that.

I worked check-to-check, worked in dead-end jobs my whole life before I got into stand-up, and even during stand-up, I was working at a retail job and Starbucks, all those places.

I speak from experience, and I speak from the heart, and I speak only what I know and what I understand; and on what I don't know and what I don't understand, I'm a good listener.

'V for Vendetta' is an amazing movie, and it had an obvious message, but it was done so perfectly. I got out of the movie, and I wanted to march so hard. I wanted to be an activist.

Society, they look down on teenage moms and dads, but I think those people are just jealous because they'll never know what it's like to be raised by someone who's still being raised.
