“Every subject you think you know, I'll dissect it and show you the truth.”
“SNL' pushed my limits. It was great. It taught me about fame, it taught me about the business; it was definitely the best experience, or one of the best, that I've had so far. It was a primer for what was to come and what I want out of life.”
“So I started as a comic at 18 and got really into it by the time I was 21, 22, so I was on the road a lot. I lived everything I needed to live like a rock star.”
“On the DVD 'Hardcore,' half the material was about me growing up in Valley Stream.”
“I'm a huge fan of Giuliani, as a person. Down-to-earth, talks to you like a human.”
“I'm the corner street storytelling guy. I'm the guy in the garage that the neighbors come over to talk to and I keep you entertained for hours.”
“I have been fortunate enough to have a diverse career - appearing on TV, touring the country and meeting tons of celebrities, even hanging out with rock stars - and it has been a blast.”
“There's a confusion of what I do. Are you the rock guy? Are you the family guy? Who are you? I'm the people's entertainer.”
“To me as a fan, as a die-hard AC/DC fan, Brian Johnson is the reason I discovered AC/DC.”
“I've got a very wide sense of humor.”
“When you're in this business, you're chasing false identities, chasing money and stardom, which is nothing you can hold onto.”
“To me, morality and family is more important than anything else in life. You don't get a second chance at it. Vanity, ego and all that is not something I get to take to the grave.”
“I'm a die-hard Metallica fan, I know the guys.”
“If there are kids in the crowd, I try to be more animated for them. It does change a little bit each show. There's a lot of improv.”
“No matter how many times I was tempted with fame and vanity I always go back to Valley Stream, which was always about community and family.”
“Kids are like roosters, up at the first sign of dawn.”
“I've been around comedians that try their bits around you. I hate that.”
“Most of the time I write visually. I get a visual of me in the audience watching the concert. I usually come up with the hooks first. Like with 'Old School.'”
“In high school the dream was to go on a stand-up tour and front a heavy metal band. I always had that in the back of my head.”
“When the energy is really high, I feed off it. Those are the nights where I really take a left turn and we just go.”
