“I'm the youngest of six kids, and I grew up with a lot of noise, a lot...” — Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Quote

“I'm the youngest of six kids, and I grew up with a lot of noise, a lot of music, and a lot of laughter.”

“I had taken an acting class at Berkeley - I was on the track team, and a friend of mine on the team said, 'You should take an acting class. It's just like recess.' So I viewed it as a simple credit.”

“I have a love-hate relationship with working out. I do not enjoy the experience when I'm doing it, but I never regret it.”

“When the needs of one person are being met by the other, there is laughter.”

“It's awfully nice when people thank you for the pleasure and laughter you've brought to their lives.”

“I like the sound of laughter. I was the guy in the group of friends that would always make the friends laugh. And everyone was like, 'You should do stand up,' so I gave it a shot, and ta-da! They were right.”
