I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock n roll and ex-wives. In that order.
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.
Rock Against Drugs, what a name. Somebody was high when they came up with that title. It's like Christians Against Christ. Rock created drugs.
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.

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.
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
