God has a sense of humor though and he must see funny things in us. He must also have some love. We're still here and there are still great things that go on.

My love for him was listening to what he said, keeping out of trouble, doing right, being fair.

Racial humor was about 35% of my act when I first started. But I realized that it was a crutch. What brought it home was when another comedian said to me, 'If you changed color tomorrow, you wouldn't have any material.' He meant it as a put-down, but I took it as a challenge.
