I Remember Seeing Eddie Murphy Raw And

For About Three Years I Was Performing At One Bar In East Los Angeles That Was Like A Mean Dive Bar. You're In There Performing For Drunks Or Bikers, Not The Most Flattering People. I Think It Helped Build My Confidence, Because You Have To Get Their Attention, Then Make Them Laugh.

Drama Is Not My Passion. If I Do It, It's For A Check. It's Not What I Want To Do. Comedy's My Thing. Stand Up's My Thing. Everything That Comes From That Is Frosting On The Cake.

[making People Laugh] Was A Secret Dream I Kept And I Didn't Tell Anybody About It Until I Was About 18.

I Don't Want To Die Tomorrow Knowing I Could've Had A Piece Of Cake Tonight.

That's One Thing About My Shows. I Tell People, I'm Not A Comedian, I'm Just A Really Funny Reporter. I Put My Life Out There And Make It Entertaining. By Putting It Out There, It Helps Me To Deal With It, You Know, So I Don't Snap And So I Don't Go Off The Handle When I Get Home.
