“I tend to have a lot of jokes about ex-girlfriends. They always ask me...” — Adam DeVine Quote

I tend to have a lot of jokes about ex-girlfriends. They always ask me if they will be the subject of a joke, and I always tell them they won't. Unless they do something crazy. They all tend to, so you know where that goes. There are no closed doors. The 'art' will suffer.

I sold a bunch of stuff. I sold Omaha Steaks, vacation packages... the worst, though, was Time Life Books, because no one wants Time Life Books. No one wants an 'Encyclopedia Brittanica' showing up at their house.

I don't really write jokes down. I tend to have a premise that I work out and test on stage.

The thing that I think a lot of guys need to know how to do is not take your mother's advice about honesty being the best policy. Listen to your cool, drunk uncle who tells you to lie. Those are the relationships that last.

Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion. This is not a function of any other art.

I define my work as a feminist act and a political act because I'm black and a woman. You don't necessarily have to claim that, but the act of making art itself is a political and feminist act when you're a woman.

Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
