I have this little thing that people call Keegan-ese, where I don't speak English words at all. I just say stuff like, You gotta toish the doish and you gotta maloish the hoish.
Keegan-Michael Key
When you're a child, the most important thing is to be able to live a life of comfort. You want to be sure that the moon goes up at night and the sun comes up in the morning and dad comes home from work.

Ricky Gervais changed our lives. And Mitch Hedberg, who we're like, Oh, that's funny to me on a level I don't think I understand. But I'm clearly pleased by it beyond something that my brain's figured out. He was amazing.

Do what you love in your community.

If you look at any successful skit comedy show, ever, there is that format of introducing you to the player in the beginning, and then going on to see those sketches.
Keegan-Michael Key
I have always, or for the most part, identified myself as a biracial person. Much to the chagrin of a lot of African-American people that I meet, because it's almost like there's a betrayal, an intrinsic betrayal: Don't do that, brotha, we need you. We need you here, in this fold.
Keegan-Michael Key
There's a thing called the 'One Drop' theory in African-American culture, which is if you have one drop of black blood in you, you're black.
Keegan-Michael Key
I'm very concerned with what's going on the news, but I would not call myself a political animal, per se. I pay more attention during election years, or if I see some topic or issue that I care about. But I would never call myself a political animal or political junkie.
Keegan-Michael Key
To make an absolutely gross generalization, I think a lot of people feel like if you're mixed, more often than not you're quote unquote white. So if you're mixed, you embrace the mainstream culture more than the African-American culture.
Keegan-Michael Key
You could figure out at least 80 percent of the context and meaning of a text if people used punctuation, and we wouldn't have had to write our sketch.
Keegan-Michael Key
For me, as a child, I certainly thought that there were more black people in the world than white people.
Keegan-Michael Key
We share plates [with Jordan Peele], and we also very often will sit in the corner and kind of speak in our own language.
