 * It's really no different for me 'cause I work for BET so it's like the writers are always on strike.
 * Commenting on the Writers Guild strike.


 * You know what so funny, this strike has been going on for a long time. It's lasted longer than the Civil Rights movement, what the hell is this? It's painfully obvious to me white people don't know how to protest. You need like an Al Sharpton, have a dream, go to the mountaintop, do something!
 * Commenting on the Writers Guild strike.


 * They had this movie called Juno about a teenage girl who gets pregnant and it's nominated for an Oscar. That's an unusual experience for me, 'cause when a black girl gets pregnant it ain't no Oscar. It's social work and a box of condoms is what that is.


 * I think politics in general are just like a popularity contest but McCain is just... old.
 * Commenting on Republican presidential candidate John McCain, aged 71.
