So many people counted on me to be the party, I had to move far enough away that they wouldn't want to drive there.
So many of these comics are just frustrated singers or actors - they want to get a gig doing a sitcom. It's paint-by-the-numbers comedy, lame joke-telling. They're drawn to it as a career move.
It occurred to me that there wouldn't be world hunger, if you people would MOVE WHERE THE FOOD IS!!!
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.

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.
I called a detox center - just to see how much it would cost: $13,000 for three weeks! My friends, if you can come up with thirteen grand, you don't have a problem yet
Everything can be satirized.
