Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film it was intelligent it was funny it took a laugh at itself.
The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
What's so great about working with really funny women is that vanity comes second. Whatever makes it real and funny they're going to go for and it's just great.
I wish I could be as thin as Jessica Simpson. I think she looks gorgeous! I have had Jessica on my show several times and I can tell you that girl is genuine and funny with a great self-deprecating sense of humor.
You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. I'm a black actor so I can't really control what Hollywood thinks. I gotta go do my thing and my jokes have got to be funny. Whatever I do has got to be great.
I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.
If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny people laugh. If it's not they don't.
I think Chris Rock at the Oscars was a great example. I thought that was intellectually hilarious. The Gap starts a war with Banana Republic... That to me was funny.
It's funny I do try to maintain health. I started doing Bikram yoga which is that hothouse yoga the 105 degrees yoga for 90 minutes. It's great you purge out all the sweat and you're drinking water.
Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female.
