I was a latchkey kid, so when I saw the 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,' that showed me that there was a different type of lifestyle out there. I was curious about it and amazed about it.

The thing is being honest with yourself. There's no rule that says you have to be married and have kids.
I couldn't be where I am today if I had children. My focus would be on my children and home. And you can do it later in life.
I do like to laugh at and talk about relationships.
I have a fear of being broke. That's what I have a fear of. I'm not kidding.
It's always good to laugh.
I keep doing stand-up because the world needs laughter - there's always something happening in the country and in the world. That's why I wanted to become an entertainer: to help people forget about their problems for a little while.
I think that, for so long, there was only one type of actor, and now you see these different colors, different people, different shapes and different sizes. It just makes it more interesting.
In 'Mother's Day,' which is directed by legendary director Garry Marshall, I play a mother figure to the character played by Jason Sudeikis from 'Saturday Night Live.' He's a widower, and I'm a mother who's helping him to get over the loss of his wife.
At my job, my manager had a massive heart attack; we had layoffs. It made me realize that nothing is certain, nothing is for sure, and if I'm going to make a move, I gotta make a move now.
You men make up these rules, and now you get mad because I'm telling you what a real woman wants. She wants you to treat her like a lady if you want her to sit up there and put on all the lingerie!
I have relationships. I date. But it takes a lot to say I'm going to be married and have children.
That's a nice thing about being a topical standup: you can add in things to keep it fresh.
Anyone driving a 1992 Cutlass, take it back, because I built it.
Now that I live in Los Angeles, if I meet somebody from Detroit, it's like there's this brother- or sisterhood, where we're real folks.
The late, great Joan Rivers actually gave me so much advice, and she was so nice to me before she passed.
We provide comedy for everybody, no matter what your race or gender. We just want people to come out and have a really good time.
I don't have a lot of time for television because I am making it, so it's really hard for me to sit down. But when I do get a chance, I try to catch up on 'Scandal,' 'Empire' and 'black-ish.'
I worked harder at my craft, and it took some time, but here I am today doing what I want to do, which is entertain people.
I'm hearing from fans about how they got out of an abusive relationship. That's why I tell people you've got to watch 'The Real.' We are about comedy and inspiration, but personal moments come up, and people are moved by it.
Men don't know how to act like men sometimes. Take the trash out. Open up the door. Rub my feet. I mean, it's a two-way street!
I made the conscious decision to not have kids, and I didn't want to be married.
I do talk about celebrity relationships like Kim Kardashian's. I like to find the humor in love.
'SNL' ain't been relevant since Jim Belushi. It's on every week; it's not funny. They need to find some black women to put on there to make it funny.
The thing is, it's that Detroiters are hard workers. We've always been hard workers, even when times are down. I've been able to take that with me, that work ethic, to help me build my career.
There is nothing like a live performance. You can look at things on television, and you can look at things on YouTube, but when you get in a room full of people and you say one joke, and everyone's laughing at the same thing, it's a really great experience.
I am a seasoned performer.
We have to remember that people are free to love who they want to love. That also means that black women are free to love who they want to love.
I did all this standup comedy in college, and from that point on, I tried to develop myself and get my name back out there.
