Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.

To me, being in the top 10 for African-American audiences is not justification to keep a show on the air. I would not be shedding any tears for the loss of those shows.

When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.

I've never been able to predict what people are going to get mad at. I've tried and I've always been surprised.

Ultimately I think everyone draws their own line of what's shocking and what is inappropriate in different places. For you, some 10-year-old kids talking about hoes may not (be) that big of a deal. But someone out there is gonna flip. There's no way to know. So I just try to deliver an amusing and decent story and leave the shock and the awe to whatever people have in their own heads.

For me, it really first has to be a good story and be funny. If you're doing sincere comedy, the edgy stuff kind of happens on its own.
