I honestly think that it automatically hurts me if I said that I supported the war in Iraq and I support the troops. That automatically kills me for getting a bunch of movies, a bunch of TV shows. People don't want to hear from me.
There's a game called Checkout where there's grocery items and it's how much you think the manufacturer's suggested retail price is and we add up your total, then your total has to be within $2 of the regular total. I don't think I could ever win that game.
I think a lot of people are afraid of freedom. They want their lives to be controlled, to be put into a box... Why should someone put a limit on how much fun I can have, how much I can accomplish?
I don't know what people are going to think of my stand-up. If you only know me from 'The Price Is Right' and 'The Drew Carey Show,' then you might be a little bit shocked. I'm a little dirty and a little opinionated but all in fun.
I see my face in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Halloween costume? That's what they think of me?'
I'm never afraid to die. I think that's the best thing that can happen to somebody is they get to move on and do something better.
I think that if anyone bothered to take a survey, they would find a sharp decline in atheism during the winters in Cleveland, Ohio.
I like to think of my house as nothing more than a glorified console for my television; the ultimate stereo cabinet.
I don't think there's hardly a comic out there that does clean material all the way around. There's a couple of guys that are clean, but I'm not one of them.
I'm not against ratings per se. I think more information is always good. But I certainly don't think the government has to step in and set guidelines for how shows should be rated.
If I wasn't a comic or TV star, I really wanted to be a photojournalist. That was my other dream job.
You know that look women get when they want sex? Me neither.
I do get the comics online I guess but it's such a pain. I'd rather just get them in the paper and read them.
I could still eat a cheeseburger if I wanted to. I just can't have them every day.
