#	Quote
1	[on if he ever considered changing his name] Hell, no. That name made me a man.
2	[on why he did not return to The Office (2005)] It was a six-line character. I just couldn't do it.
3	I like to be loved or hated - I don't like mediocre. So I'd rather have the entire crowd hate me than to have 90% hate me.
4	A lot of people walk out of my show. If I've got 250-300 people in the audience, 20 will walk out. I average about 20 walkouts, which is good. Because everybody else stays, and I love that. That's what comedy is. Not everybody should be laughing at everything at the same time. That's not even natural. My thing is to feel natural, because I don't want to feel like I could just make people laugh at every single joke, every single time, with the same decibel level.



#	Trademark
1	His infectious laugh.
2	Confronting audience members.
3	Philosophies on relationships and race relations.
