Comedy comes from a place of hurt. Charlie Chaplin was starving and broke in London, and that's where he got his character 'the tramp' from. It's a bad situation that he transformed into comedic one.

I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.

In stand-up you can go either way. It's live. Somebody might say something in the crowd, you might respond to it. But in a movie you could be spontaneous too. But you pretty much have to stick to that story or that scene or that script, but in stand-up you can go wherever you want to. It's more freedom.

I tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.

It's crazy because people expect you to be funny all the time and every day is not a funny day. I go to funerals and people are like 'tell a joke' and 'say one of your lines in a movie.' It's a funeral, man!

A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.

I get on stage and talk about different stuff in my life and what I've been through and what I think about the world. It's picking out highlights of things and how I became who I am and how my daddy raised me.

I love to talk about people I've met being an entertainer. All my encounters in life - I roll it all into an hour and 30 minutes.

I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.

When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.
Chris Tucker
Image
I've lived a little bit and traveled the world and experienced a lot of things that I can play any role, and I think I can get into stuff that people never thought I would ever do because of my experiences and growth as a person.
Chris Tucker

I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.
Chris Tucker
Image
I told a joke and people laughed and it was the best feeling. I knew I wanted to do this as a career. I never knew I could get such a high from telling a joke. There's something so extraordinary about having people listening to you and hanging onto your words - it's a great feeling.

Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
Chris Tucker
Image
I think all the knowledge and all the travels that I've done, I'm going to do a lot of great work in the future.

One thing about me, when I make a decision about something, I realize when you make choices in life, that dictates your life.
Chris Tucker
Image
I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.
Chris Tucker
Image
You got to control your own destiny. You got to keep writin different stuff. Keep switchin up and never do the same thin too many times.

I feel like every time I go out I want to do a good job. I want people to say that he's just as good at stand-up as he is in some of the movies I've seen him in, so I try to do the best every time I go out there.

I reenact everything. I love to paint a picture for my audience. I'm a lot like Richard Pryor in that aspect. I do a lot of acting on stage, acting out and visualizing stuff. I love to do that. I'm into it so much, it just comes out of me.
