I've done everything. Selling door-to-door fire extinguishers... In bars, I used to repair those machines that have 10 different buttons on them to spray club soda and seltzer.

I may even show up behind the camera. I love to put things together; I love to give direction. I have a great eye for pace.

I'll drive down the street, and I'll practice improv. I will sit there at a red light and see two guys talking to each other, and I will just start playing both characters. I can't hear them, but I can see their mouths moving, so I'll just put words in their mouths.

You know what I like? I like classic stuff. I like 'The Andy Griffith Show' – the variety of characters was so amazing to me.

You turn hotdogs with tongs. Don't you ever use those tongs on a hamburger.

Mel Gibson is losing it. I don't know how people still supporting this dude's movies like it's all good. That dude is nuts. All you gotta do is shut him down and don't support any of his movies.

Before I got into stand-up, I used to be a hip-hop dancer in a crew, and my name was J. Smoove, and my partner was J. Groove.
J. B. Smoove -
I would only take a role that I know I'm comfortable in and I can do. I've turned down plenty of things because I'd feel it's not me, and I wouldn't want to come on someone's project and flip that.

I'm sure back in the Greek days or the Roman Empire days, when guys fought in arenas and were fighting lions, people were talking smack. Every era in history has someone talking smack. No way you can have talent and not proclaim your victory.

I'm on my version of the protein diet, but there ain't no protein in it. It's a Krispy Kreme doughnut between two Cinnabons. And you soak it overnight in Red Bull. Then you chase it with a Snickers.

True Yankees fans know an up-and-coming player when they see one.
J. B. Smoove -
Oh, yeah, I've seen 'Seinfeld' 1,000 times.

You don't want to take the world over with a whole hamper full of dirty clothes. That's the main thing people overlook. And take a shower, take a bath every day.

When you're babysitting a kid, all you're seeing is a version of them, a small dosage.

It's an ongoing joke that a black man is always the first one to get killed in movies.
J. B. Smoove -
I don't like to dabble in anything I don't do well. I don't talk politics.
J. B. Smoove -
You got to start by doing little things if your quest is to take over the world.

If your boss asks you why you're comin' in late, you say it's 'cause you stayed late.

You want your lady to be a contortionist. What man wouldn't want a lady who's a contortionist?
J. B. Smoove -
You gotta improvise in life. You gotta improv if the police pull you over.

I'm street smart. You can't con me. But that's just from living in New York. Now if a guy came from Mississippi somewhere, Ohio somewhere, to New York City for the first time, he don't have the street smarts. You can take him.
J. B. Smoove -
I'm, like, everybody's friend. I'm one of those dudes. I can be friends with anybody. Any race of person, any personality, I can kind of deal with them. I accept different types of people.
J. B. Smoove -
Improv relies just as much on listening as it does you delivering dialogue. That's the hard for some people. Some people just concentrate on what they're going to say, and they're not listening. You have to listen in order to see where the other person is going to.
J. B. Smoove -
When you speak directly at things and don't say you're going to try to do something or that you hope to do something, the universe will work with you. Think about it this way - a boomerang goes out and comes back to you if you throw it. If you throw it out at the universe, it will come back down to you on Earth.
