I woke up my pop in the middle of the night 'cause the boogie man's under my bed. My pop is this big, huge man, nothing can hurt him. I went running into his bedroom like, 'Daddy, Daddy, the boogie man's under the bed!' Pop opens one eye, he's like, 'Is the boogie man bigger than me?' 'Well, no Daddy, he's not.' 'Well, you got your choice: you can deal with the boogie man or you can deal with me.'
I love to believe that there's one god but there's many different religions so there's just the question of which long distance company you pick.
The biggest thing in my life right now is my girlfriend. I love this girl. I know I love her because she told me.
I know she's just trying to make things nice, so I do my part. Now, when I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I turn on the light. I used to just go by sonar: just keep peeing 'til you hear water.
My dad was a big car guy. If you wanted to spend time with my dad, he was working on the car.
If you're in California and it's raining, stay home, because nobody can drive in the rain. It's like it's raining frogs. They're terrified.
One day in the shower, you figure it out. It's a special day in a man's life. I was like, 'Oh, I found me a hobby.'
I talk a lot about women in my act, 'cause let's face it -- if I was hungry, I would talk about food.
My girlfriend wants to get married. I tell you - I hope she meets somebody nice.
I don't think it's fair - you get married, you give your wife a wedding ring. I think you should give her a mood ring. Oh, it may sound crass, but just check the color when you come home. 'Hi honey. Infernal red? Oh boy, I ain't getting laid, and I gotta cut the lawn, I know it.'
I think human arrogance will be the demise of civilization.
I sincerely want to meet the girl that was meant for me, but I want to sleep with the girls that weren't.
I don't think I'll ever meet the perfect woman. I might have to get me one of them mail order women. You can do that: you send away to the Philippines, and they send you a wife. The only thing is, once you're on their mailing list, they keep sending you a relative a month whether you want it or not.
The girls are beautiful in Hollywood - and enough silicon to caulk a sink.
