“You can tell on-stage when a joke's starting to lose its pop. It doesn't mean people don't want to hear it anymore; it means I don't want to do it anymore. Because I want to move on to something that has a knee-jerk reaction just like you get when you tell somebody a joke that they've never heard.”
“As long as I stay engaged with everybody else, then I'll create more comedy. It's just when I shut off and stay at home... What helps me is just to keep moving.”
“I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that's all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.”
“There are two kinds of comics; there are the ones who build bridges, and then there are the people who walk across the bridges as though they built them. The bridge builders are few and far between.”
“I do a lot of gay-friendly stuff in my show, and men, women, they all love it. I practice non-judgment in my daily life and hope other people do the same thing.”
“TV is a hard job. You work 15 hours a day. People tell you what to do. I hate to do it.”
“There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.”
“If I see someone out there mouthing the words to a bit, I'm not having fun.”
“There have been times in my life that I've had a ton of vices, and my demons have run amok for years and years and years.”
“If I sit down to write a joke about, whatever, the polluted Gulf of Mexico, it comes out mundane to me.”
“My uncle was a preacher, and I used to go watch him preach. He was also funny, so I'm very 'preacher-ish' on stage, not by intent but because that's where I learned to talk in front of people.”
“My goal is just to become a better comedian.”
“Diamonds - that'll shut her up... for a minute!”
“I think the world has their own good, clean, Christian comedy. They don't need my help.”
“I go through about 140 cities a year.”
“People are saying that I'm an alcoholic, and that's not true, because I only drink when I work, and I'm a workaholic.”
“I was desperate for new material, so anything I can write a joke about that works is in the act. No matter who it offends, or who it bothers - doesn't matter if its something my wife hates.”
