Quote

The first time I saw my wife, Marjorie, I was doing stand-up in Memphis, and she was sitting in the front row. Afterward, I walked up and said, Ma'am, I'm going to marry you one day. And 15 years later, I did.

I don't see the women as a problem. The women are doing all they can do. They're heading up households they're single parents they're breadwinners they're the 'mamas,' they're the 'daddies,' they're the 'uncles.' They take the kids to school they take them to doctors, you know? They take them to games. I see it all the time.

A guy that's really serious about you, he's gotta be talking to you, he's gotta want to have one-on-one, in-your-face interaction. That's how we are.

When I first got money, I went through it like everybody else, because I didn't know. But, right now, I've educated myself and placed smart people around me. I surrounded myself with people who not only are intelligent and effective about finances, taxes, and money management, but they (also) love me.
