I don`t think my comedy is that political. It`s more social. But whatever. When you make comedy and you do stand-up, you work alone. Movies have to go under so much scrutiny. A stand-up special is a vision, and a movie is a consensus in a lot of ways.
I was raised to believe that you had to do things better than white people in order to succeed. The old black shows were better than the white shows. The Jeffersons was a lot better. Good Times was way funnier. Sanford and Son. Now, though, everyone think...
I like talking about subjects that aren`t funny in the first place and making them funny. So anything down and depressing is something I`ll talk about.
I think if I were to get as big as I could get, it does change your mind-state. I think like the little man. I think like the underdog. I don`t want to change that.
