If you cannot patiently bear correction, endeavor to avoid fault.
Few criminals die sensible of their crimes.
I hate fame. I hate being recognized, because I don't know how to talk to people.
I'm happy doing stand-up, but I'll probably do a television show eventually. If not, I'll delve into this Internet world and decide best how to harness it. What I like best about it is the independent movie style and the ability to just be completely reckless within that world. I like that a lot. I just have to acquaint myself with technology.
Ignorance is better than knowledge misapplied.
Reason is always weak where prejudice is strong.
I generally have a real strong idea or a strong punchline, and I just try to get to it by rambling around, as I don't like to memorize words.
I love writing - it's the best. But I really hate collaboration.
I don't know anything about politics. Like, zero. Nothing.
I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio.
There hasn't been an original voice in stand-up since Sam Kinison.
I just like doing standup, that's all I'm interested in or good at.
Many people are skeptical about marriage of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Pressley. They say, Lisa Marie is more of a sit at home type, while Michael Jackson is more of a homosexual pedophile.
You ever hear guys with small cocks talk about sex? Can't talk about it enough. They even got poems. They'll say, 'It's not the motion of the ocean, it's the boat of the lotion.' I've even heard variants..., it's not the tree or the size, it's the axe that you wax.' It's a whole sub-genre of poetry now that's taught in many of our finer institutions.
