I started out as an impressionist and that's all about observing - how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.

I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.

I can go to a country song, go right into it and make it sound authentic. And I think that's because of my ear as an impressionist.

I'm kind of long in the tooth to fly in in a cape now, so I'd have to be, like, the voice of reason or somebody. 'Don't do that, super-fellow!'

Renoir was one of the primary people that started the impressionist movement. He roomed with Monet.

The studios gotta start making more stuff where black folks get quality stuff. But I can't trip about that because I've been making movies for 35 years, and I've played everything from an old lady to a donkey, so I can't be on here talking about, 'They don't give us enough roles' and diversity.
