It was great to be the rock comic, the shock comic. But after you've played Giants Stadium with Bon Jovi in front of 82,000 people, after you've done the 'Wild Thing' video with Jessica Hahn and every rock band from hell, you're not gonna top that.
Jesus is still up in Heaven, thumbing through his Bible, going 'Where did I say build a water slide?'
John Goodman isn't fat. He's in a category beyond fat. What does one call it? Whalelike.
What am I responsible for? Who am I responsible to? Everybody? How come when Archie Bunker nailed everybody, it was funny - but when I do it, it's not?
With any other celebrity, people come up and say, 'Hey, I really like your work.' But with my fans, when they see me, they don't even say hello. They just go, 'AWWWWWGHGHHHGHGHRRR!'
I'm responsible. I even did a commercial for MTV saying how I was going to register to vote. And I still haven't.
Jim Bakker. He's lost everything, he's ruined. And the worst thing of all he still has to wake up to her!
If I've learned one thing, it's 'don't tell the truth.' Lies keep you together.
The Russians haven't been to the moon. You know why? Because they're space pussies... You really want to impress us? Bring us back our FLAG!
You know what the problem is with world hunger? We've been sending them food.
When has stand-up comedy been kind to anyone? It goes after anyone who's the target. Comedy attacks, man.

You don't know what a rough crowd is. If all I have to do is go make people laugh, that's nothing. Let me tell you what a tough crowd is. A tough crowd is going to a morning service and you got six people there and you gotta pat your house payment. That's a tough crowd.
I'd rather entertain people than offend them.
