This was a threat being carried out -- $40 million for 22 years, ... I've watched these people, paying them, answering their wants and needs. This was a real threat, and I wanted her mother to know what she was doing.

These people marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: "Why you ain't," "Where you is?" . . . I blamed the kid, until I heard the mother talk. . . . And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!

Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on.

I feel that in-person contact with people is the most important thing in comedy. While I'm up on stage, I can actually put myself into the audience and adjust my pace and tuning to them. I can get into their heads through their ears and through their eyes. Only through this total communication can I really achieve what I'm trying to do.

about these magical people with no jobs who live in apartments.
