My Comedy Comes From Pain. I Can't

Comedy Has Been So Good To Me.

You Know You Poor When You Eatin' Breakfast Food Late. You Fryin' Toast? At Nine O'clock At Night? With Bacon? You're Broke.

I Get Facials. I Get A Manicure And Pedicure Every Week. I Get My Hair Cut, And I Oil Myself Down From Head To Toe. I Got That From My Brother. I Was So Impressed With How High Maintenance He Was. When He Left The Room, You Could Still Smell Him For An Hour.

I Want To Play A Villain - I Can't Wait To Play A Villain.

I Became The Storyteller Of South Side Chicago. I Used An Old Kiwi Liquid Shoe Polish As A Microphone. I'd Go Around The House Interviewing Everybody, Telling Stupid Jokes, Doing Voices. I Mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., People On 'laugh-in,' Flip Wilson.
