I never viewed myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping, I'm working.

Some suggestions for you :

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.

And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.

When I was growing up, I installed refrigerators in supermarkets. My father was an electrical engineer.

Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there.

I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

On learning to swim: I'm too big to have some woman hold my stomach and say 'Now kick your feet.'

I would have absolutely messed up 'The Matrix'.

I really believe that a man and a woman together, raising a family, is the purest form of happiness we can experience.

Love is the ultimate theme, but it's not just for women.

Don’t ever let somebody tell you…you can’t do something. You got a dream... you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves... they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want something go get it.

My first record came out while I was a senior in high school, which is dangerous.

I don't necessarily believe in organized religion.

If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.
