• Being honest, if I had a daughter I wouldn't want her listening to a Nicki Minaj CD until she was a certain age. Even when I meet my fans and they tell me they are 12, I cringe a little. I always say, 'Listen. I don't want you saying the bad words, put school first.'

• I used to be mouthy. It was all to do with being a northerner and from Manchester, which was suddenly a big deal when I was in my 20s. When I read some of the interviews I did back then, I cringe.

• I always want my standup act to appeal to everybody in the room, and when I started standup, and I would see people talk about their kids and their wife, and I'd always cringe a little bit, like, 'I can't get a date, I don't know what you're talking about.'

• Tus ojos son como una llama, pero nuestros hermanos no tienen ni esperanza ni fuego. Tu boca es de granito, pero nuestros hermanos son blandos y humildes. Tu cabeza es alta, pero nuestros hermanos se encogen. Tú caminas, pero nuestros hermanos se arrastran. Deseamos ser condenados contigo, en lugar de ser bendecidos con todos nuestros hermanos. Haz lo que quieras con nosotros, pero no nos alejes de ti.

• I touch on sex in my stand-up and it's funny, because when I talk about sex from an adult point of view, people cringe. But if I talk about war or killing, people laugh. So it's sick. It's really demented.

• La calidad y el título tienen tales encantos que cientos de personas están dispuestas a renunciar a toda su propia importancia, a encogerse, a adular, a parecer pequeñas, y a empañar todo placer en la restricción, simplemente para estar entre los grandes, aunque sin la menor esperanza de mejorar su comprensión o compartir su generosidad. Podrían ser más felices entre sus iguales.

• Usually the German translators do something terrible, especially with Tom Wolfe, which is that they make it local. So if the characters are from Harlem, the translators put all this Berlin slang into their mouths, and that's just terrible. You cringe when you read that. But there really is no good solution to the problem, except learning English.

• La lección que esto enseña y que todo afroamericano debería meditar bien, es que un rifle Winchester debería tener un lugar de honor en cada hogar negro, y debería usarse para esa protección que la ley se niega a dar. Cuando el hombre blanco, que siempre es el agresor, sepa que corre el mismo riesgo de morder el polvo cada vez que lo hace su víctima afroamericana, tendrá más respeto por la vida afroamericana. Cuanto más cede, se encoge y suplica el afroamericano, cuanto más tiene que hacerlo, más se le insulta, se le ultraja y se le lincha.

• I always cringe when a male friend of mine, who's very fixated on women, puts "compatibility" at the top of his list of attributes that he would be looking for in a woman. I would replace compatibility with dialectic.

• I guess I cringe, because sometimes I don't even watch my live performances back. When I edit, it's this feeling of seeing my mistakes. It's always a mixture of loving characters, but being the artist that created it and not trying to go too deep in criticizing myself.

• I remember writing a song when I was about 15. This is the one I can remember. I know I'd been writing poetry for a long time, since I was about eight, but I remember my first one that I put to chords. I was really trying to be like the psychedelic era Beatles, I was obsessed. All I could think about was Beatles and Hendrix. So I tried to write a psychedelic song, and it was the worst. I couldn't even... If I read it now - I still have the book somewhere - it makes me cringe out loud. It was just about psychedelic stuff.

• También aprendí que no llegaste a esta tierra como una persona perfeccionista o maniática del control. No naciste como una persona encogida y contraída. Naciste como energía, como vida, hecho de la misma materia que las estrellas, las flores, las brisas. Aprendiste la contracción para sobrevivir, pero eso fue entonces. Has pagado un dineral, pero bien pagado. Ahora te toca cosechar.

• Una de las revelaciones de ese libro [Lincoln in the Bardo] fue la idea de la ciudadanía. Incluso esa palabra, ciudadanía, para alguien de mi edad, me da escalofríos. Pero, para mí, el espacio político en el que estamos ahora aboga por un reinicio de ideas bastante simples y el examen de la forma en que los estadounidenses no han estado viviendo de acuerdo con ellas.
