I don’t need Hollywood. With or without them, I’ll be fine. But I’ll admit it would be nice to have them on board.

Do you know what it is sir? Do you know what the Dance Dance Revolution is? It’s not an actual revolution, so you don’t have to worry about that. It’s not like a bunch of Asians are going to knock on your door ‘Hey! Start dancing!’

I do a lot of cultural material that’s based on my traveling around the world. I basically just report what I’ve seen and where I’ve been.

I’ve seen racism in my audiences. For example, I’ve seen people laugh at every other group, but then clam up when it comes to their community. You can’t laugh at everyone else and then not laugh at yourself. You shouldn’t be at my show if you can’t laugh at yourself.

I don’t think Indian actors are good. A couple of them are, like Anupam Kher, but not many are there like him in the industry. There are thousand of actors and actresses in the industry, but you can count on hand how many of them are really good; the rest of them are just pretty faces.

I don’t want to be a part of any Bollywood movie.

I think for comedians, acting is their natural progression. It’s all about progression.

If you’re politically correct, chances are you’re not coming to one of my shows. I get to go onstage and say things that everybody thinks all the time, but can’t say out loud.

I will never stop doing stand-up; that’s my career, but I will do movies in Hollywood.

People always say ‘You do racial comedy.’ And I don’t, exactly. I do cultural comedy. Because race and culture are two different things. There’s black people from America and then there’s black people from Africa. Racially, they’re the same; culturally, they’re extremely different.
