I'm a comedian, and I decided I wanted to be a comedian when I was eight years old watching old Saturday Night Live episodes. I never decided to be a rapper because I'm not a rapper.

It's cool to know that you're doing something that people of all ages can watch and enjoy, even though my bread and butter is a little dirtier. It's cool to just be involved in something that's that big and joyous and meant to make people feel happy.

Marketing is always a tricky thing with a rated R movie. Sometimes people just get what it is and they want to come see it, and sometimes you have to explain it more.
