Mike Royce and I have always had success writing what we know. What we know now is that we're middle-aged, neurotic and fat.
I'm always giving myself the Alzheimer's test. My shrink told me to do this. It takes one minute. You name every word that comes to mind that begins with the letter F.
When you go to standup, there seems to be a common denominator of some form of need or want for validation from the audience that maybe you were lacking as a kid.
I did 15 shows a week when I lived in New York. I did five shows on a Friday and seven shows on a Saturday. It was everything I did and it was my sole source of income.
Sex after one child shows down. After twins... ooh... I'll tell you what it is for us. I'll share it with you. Every three months. We don't plan it that way. That's just how it works out. It's the weirdest thing. You know what I do? Every time I have sex, the next day I pay my estimated tax. My quarterlies are due. If it's oral sex, I renew my driver's license.
I am like Hugh Hefner minus anything good about his life.
My daughter's tricycle said "Some Assembly Required." It came in a jar.
I had a very Italian house - the "plastic furniture you couldn't sit on" house. Did anybody have the museum house? For a kid it's traumatic. Towels you can never touch. China no one's ever gonna use. Everything is for a special occasion that never happens. My mother was waiting for the Pope to show up for dinner. Or Sinatra. Or Chachi.
In school, I wasn't a very good student - I was very irresponsible and never did the studying but always liked to get the laugh.
If golf wasn't enjoyable and there wasn't a lot of humor and enjoyment, even though the game is so frustrating, you would wonder why you put yourself through it.
I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.
If you are someone, you know, with fame, whatever amount, it's good to be married to someone who's not impressed with that at all.
If my father had hugged me even once, I'd be an accountant right now.
My wife gets all the money I make. I just get an apple and clean clothes every morning.
