I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?
I know you think I'm crazy. I go into a different room and I actually felt like it takes me to a better place, positive instead of negative.
I'm most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He's given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.
If somebody pisses me off and I understand it ain't personal then I'll go to another place and I'll meditate.

Martin was arrested in August 1996, at the Burbank Airport for carrying loaded concealed weapon in his suitcase.

Martin was openly criticized by Bill Cosby for his vulgarity and for reinforcing negative stereotypes of blacks.
His teachers used to give him the last few minutes of class to make his classmates laugh.
