You know, I remember Career Day in high school. I remember plumbers and lawyers... I don't remember a booth where you could sign up to learn how to shoot chickens out of a cannon at the windshield of an airplane, 'cause there would have been a line at my school to do that!
Thank God I'm at that point in my career where I don't have to take stuff that I don't really want to do.
You find out that all this stuff you've accumulated, you could care less about it. It's just the relationships that matter.
My whole career can be summed up with 'Ignorance is bliss.' When you do not know better, you do not really worry about failing.
Comics don't usually have very long careers, and I'm 22 years into this.
We don't do that here. We only take urine samples.
You may be a redneck if . . . you have spent more on your pickup truck than on your education.
I teach a Bible study for homeless guys in downtown Atlanta every week. Been doing it for years. That's the guys I'd rather go talk to. I'd rather take my act outside the church.
When I first started out, being from the South and going to New York or Chicago, people kept telling me to get voice lessons and 'lose that stupid accent you got.' And I'm like, 'Well, where I come from, you have the stupid accent.'
I never thought I would do a game show, but now I guess I'm now officially in that genre.
We're all screwed up. And the way Christians mess things up is we act like we've got it going on. And if we would just stay in that place of, 'Hey, we're all screwed up and but for the grace of God, none of us have a shot here.' We need to have a sense of humor about it; that's kind of the way I've always faced my comedy.
If you own a home with wheels on it and several cars without, you just might be a redneck.
That's the great thing about a tractor. You can't really hear the phone ring.
You don't have anything; you don't own anything.
