“I went over there to 'black-ish' to be a writer on the show, but Kenya Barris - …” — Deon Cole

I really related to Ellen more than anybody. I loved the way she had a way of taking small details in life and make something very funny out of them in her stand-up routines. She's someone I modeled myself after - and really admire.

I hate it when people come to comedy shows thinking it's going to be simply all about laughing at jokes.

Listen, most people go to movie theaters with an open mind - not knowing how they're going to react to the film they're about to see.

The famous business is crazy. But if you can handle the streets of Chicago, you probably can handle any place.
