I don't care about Shaft.

The fact that they

kept assuming that...

Like I woke up every morning,

like, in my Shaft pajamas,

jumped out of bed,

ran down the stairs,

drank a cup of Shaft juice,

turned on the Shaft television...

I just realized "Shaft juice"

sounds like semen.

Don't wanna drink that.

That'd be gross.

I just like...

I was just doing some stuff

with, like, music,

and I just put out

that EP, and I was like...

( Cheers and applause )

Thank you.

And I was listening to it

in my car, I picked up...

Like, it was in the

mixing, and I was like,

oh, I want to see how it sounds

in the car

and I picked up

a friend of mine, she got in.

And she was like, "Is this you?"

And I was like, "Yeah."

And she goes,

"You listen to your own music?"

I was like, "Yeah, yeah,

I listen to my own music."

Like, being a...

being an entertainer...

Being an entertainer

is the only job

where you can

enjoy your own stuff.

Did you know that?

It's the only job where you can

enjoy your own sh*t.

Like, if I made

sandwiches for a living,

like, if I made sandwiches

for a living,

like if I worked

at Subway or something,

I make sandwiches for a living,

and then I go home and I make

myself a sandwich,

nobody in here is gonna be like,

getting a little conceited,

aren't we?

Like, no one cares,

no one cares.

It's also the only job

where you have to keep proving

you can do it.

Like, you can...

You have to keep like...

Like, if you work at Staples,

you don't have to be like,

"Oh yeah, I know how to

move paper from here to here."

Like, you don't have to do that

every time you go in.

As an actor, I have

to prove I know how to act

every time I have to audition

and prove I know how to act like

I'm just gonna forget

how to act one day.

Like, I just won't know.

Like, I'll come back from summer

break, go to "Community,"

and they're gonna

be like, "Okay, and action!"

And I'll just be like...

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know! Is this acting?

Help, help!"

It's ridiculous.

But like,

I was talking about music.

I like music a ton, but the

problem is, is like,

I like weird stuff.

I like weird, crazy music,

like, weird people making music,

and we really don't have that

anymore.

Like, you know, we got

Lady Gaga and stuff like that,

but that's... I don't think

that's really weird.

I feel like that's

planned, like, I don't...

We need weird stuff.

But as an adult,

we're not really allowed

to be weird anymore.

Like, the older you get, the

less you can take weird stuff.

That's the truth.

Like, you can't take

weird stuff anymore.

Like, as a kid,

the idea of Santa Claus is

really weird and f***ed up.
