You white folks see UFOs in your dreams. You don't hear about Martians in Harlem.
From Paul Mooney
What does it mean to be too black for Hollywood? It's self-explanatory. Hollywood has certain kinds of blacks that they like.
There are still plenty of movie people peddling black stereotypes. I guess Tyler Perry's probably the most massively successful.
If you have money and you have fame, but you don't have any confidence in your blackness, then it's all for nothing.
If you're happy with what you're doing, then you don't get bored.
People ask me, when was my best time? I always say, 'Today.'
I love Obama because he is proof all black people don't look alike. Nobody every told me, 'Good morning, Mr. President.' We don't all look alike.
There's always a message in my comedy.
My grandmother was the best. She loved you for you. She loved me for me. She was old-school. They broke the mold with her. They don't make them like that any more.
Handshaking means, 'I don't have a weapon.'
