The beautiful thing about having family that has diabetes is knowing what not to do. I got an uncle that thinks insulin is supposed to enable him to eat cake.

Having nine brothers and sisters, you have to stand out. In order to get on the stage with me and Shawn and Marlon and Keenan and Kim, you have to be funny. We're not going to let you in the conversation.

You know what Bill Cosby did wrong? He started criticizing young black men.

You've got to want it. I can give you a role. I can't give you a career.

My greatest production is my children. Then, to see my grandbabies is the gravy.

Three high schools. I was funny. I thought I was being funny. I just had an opinion about everything that was said in school, so that got me thrown out.

All the family gatherings, I'm too tired, or I can't because it conflicts with work... I have seven grandkids. I've been missing recitals and graduations. To me, it's just not worth it. There is a better way to live life.

You have to look yourself in the eye and ask, 'Who are you?' It can't be all about work.

It's hard for me to play this loving, supportive father/husband/ friend on TV but be the guy in life that is telling everyone, 'I can't. I have to work.'

But my kids, my brothers' kids - they think about trying to top what we did.

And my marriage was perfect when I wasn't famous.

The show has become my therapy.

My kids have a competitive drive I never had growing up.

Nobody can stop you but you. And shame on you if you're the one who stops yourself.

I was 12 years old when I had my first job, delivering packages.

Being a celebrity, I don't even have to talk.

Some struggle is healthy. If you can embrace it rather than be angry, you can use it as your pilot light.

We have four beautiful children and some wonderful memories.

Junior is such a great guy. He's the new and improved model. It's a beautiful thing. That's what you train your children to do. He's an inspiration to his brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews who say it's too hard living up to the family name.

Sitcom is the best gig in show business because it's easy hours, nine to five.
