When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I'm so happy I did a nice thing.
Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.
My buddies, we've always just tried to make each other laugh. I mean, just like all friends hanging out - that's the goal.
I'm sure everyone's got their back story. I don't come from a place of where I was tortured and needed to let something out. I came from a very happy home. I was a little out of control at times. But my family... we all liked to be funny, we all liked to make each other laugh.
I don't laugh at me. I used to. I used to get the giggles when I'd see myself. But now, I see myself onscreen, and I sure don't laugh.
I'm not comfortable being around too many people.
The Wedding Singer will be the first time I've done a movie and Farley won't be calling me up the night it opens.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink, put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.Oh, it could be so nice to grow old with you, I wanna grow old with you.
I choose to ignore hell in my life. When I was a little kid I asked my Dad "Am I going to go to hell?" because I'd heard about hell. And he said, "Nothing you're gonna do will get you into hell." And so I got to ignore it.
One night I couldn't sleep. It was like 2:00 in the morning. I was thinking, 'What can I do?' I'm watching TV. I'm like, 'Let me do something else.' I'm not going to fall asleep for a few hours. What are my hobbies? There was the masturbation option. I skipped that because just knowing my kids are down the hall I felt psychotic. So, I went with watching more TV. I couldn't come up with anything. I was going, 'God, read a book.' Then I was like this, 'Where do I keep the books?' I've got nothing to do but watch TV.
My hobbies are run-on sentences.
I did rocks, all this dumb stuff. But now it's just trying to stay afloat and just get through the days.
I was a big fan of Kurt Russell growing up and I always wanted to be the modern day Kurt Russell.
