I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock n roll and ex-wives. In that order.
Jesus is still up in Heaven, thumbing through his Bible, going 'Where did I say build a water slide?'
Jesus had a tough life. I read about that guy. Jesus is the only guy that ever came back from the dead that didn't scare the F- out of everybody!
I started saying things in church that didn't meet with a lot of approval - like 'Jesus isn't coming back.' They started throwing Bibles.
There's always 30 or 40 Christians standing around, saying, "It's a shame that he has to die." And Jesus is saying, "Well, maybe I wouldn't have to if somebody would get a ladder and pair of pliers!!
I've never been against women. That anti-feminist rap is bogus. I think men should be nice to women, buy them diamonds.
It was like going to church, except Ozzy Osbourne was there.
I guess they're tough jokes. But there's lots of things you either laugh or cry at. And you just can't cry.
Society needs a couple of vents that say what you're not supposed to say.
Just because I do a few comedy bits about gay people, that does not mean I'm out there promoting some anti-gay cause.
I'm not going to give up the shock part of my comedy.
Anyone can go out on stage and start beating people over the head with rubber chickens. That'll get people's attention.
I'm a comedian, and my comedy has never endorsed violence towards gays.
I'm so tired of men who are afraid to hurt women's feelings.
