I'm a movie fanatic. I watch probably four movies a day - not because I'm a lunatic, but because I just love movies.

CBS garners a predominately older white audience, and by having a show like 'Superior Donuts' on their weekly programming, it distorts what people are used to seeing in a positive way. It's a show I think was necessary.

My dad kicked me out of the house when I was 18. I was supposed to go to community college. I wasn't really into going because I wanted to do stand-up, and he felt I was wasting my time.

I sat down with CBS, and we talked about me developing a show for them. At the time, I was meeting with a lot of networks. And I told them, 'I don't want to be acting on your show as the token black guy. I want to do something that will change a network and will change the way people view African-Americans on TV.'

I do everything with a purpose, and I don't really pay attention to the negativity.

I grew up around a mix of a lot of people, so I got a lot of different perspectives. As a kid, I appreciated that.

I grew up in a very, very diverse neighborhood back home in Maryland. And when I see that on TV shows, it makes me want to watch it, personally. I just gravitate towards that.

In Hollywood, it's not what you know but who you know.
