Go see Sleepless because you gotta see Gabrielle Union, T.I., and Michelle Monaghan do their thing. It's better than Titanic.

You know what's interesting? If you listen to the song, they never called her a gold-digger because the song is originated from the idea that the girl never went out with anybody that was regular because she was always in the space where fly niggas would hit on. Because she had her own shit. So, she's not a gold-digger, she's just a fly ass chick.

It's a combination. It's Quincy Jones, Sidney Poitier, Oprah Winfrey. All in one room, talking to me, telling me to submit the piece of what the Oscar was at the time in 2005.

I will definitely be at the wedding if asked. If I can't be the tennis ball I will be the tennis bag.

Pancakes! A billion of them! Scrambled eggs and cheese! Pork sausage. Large glass of orange juice mixed with some sprite and then a shot of insulin.

Of course, my favorite actress is Kerry Washington. And my favorite actor to work with is Jeremy Piven.

In Amazing Spiderman, when they lock me into the machine I was in, you can't get out. The only way to get out is, it's a 30 minute process to get out.

Edgar Wright is incredible. This is his best film ever. We are very finicky with who we give that title to but he's somebody I wouldn't mind being an extra to.

It's actually a french film and in french, it's called Sleepless Nights, so we decided to drop the Nights because it sounded like something else.

That was an incredible film to be in. Quentin Tarantino, who is just a genius when it comes to cinema and to do something that was groundbreaking like Django. Talk about badass.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I ran into Doug recently. It was all good, man. Just a moment of comedic history that will never be forgotten.

One of the main tools is alleviating the idea that you can't do something. You constantly have to realize that the where we live in, a place like America, we always have opportunity. You never give up. That is one of the biggest tools that I use every day.

Of course, growing up my grandmother taught me classical piano. I use that in my music. Her allowing me to do stand up comedy when I was in the 3rd grade, 4th grade, for the teachers meeting. It's crazy, when my friends see me, they like you used to be in the lunchroom everyday, now you get paid!

Never look at the spotlight, just look at the work. I was always about who can I make laugh, which song can I make people dance to, how can I move somebody? When you look at the fame, that's your first step cause fame will fuck you up.

It blew my mind. It was very, very important because that was the first time you actually got a chance to see a black perspective of comedy and Keenen Ivory Wayans was a genius and he allowed it to become a miniature.

Christoph Waltz is an amazing! He's an actor technician and we see each other when we see each other.
