I like doing a bunch of different things, being all over the place.
Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science.
I'm finally just relaxed and comfortable with who I am.
You can't make a woman happy. That's like trying to cure a fatal disease. The goal is to treat the symptoms so you can comfortably live with the illness.
If you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
When I am outside at night by myself every person turns into a pedophile. So I tend to walk a little faster than usual and then I sprint.
Yeah, I had top-secret clearance and everything.
That's proof right there that men and women are on different levels because men can watch two women together and that's a turn-on. It doesn't work the same way for us, does it, ladies? No, uh-uh - it doesn't work the same. You ask any woman in here her sexual fantasy, and I will bet you a million dollars that it's NOT to go home and catch your man bent over with some big, burly guy standing behind him.
I feel today's society is so judgmental.
When life gives you lemons don't make lemonade, make pink lemonade. Be unique.
Now, I think the people who are still doing stand-up are doing it because they love stand-up.
My neighbor, she invited me to an Elvis party. I told her I couldn't come 'cause I'd be too busy making fun of her from behind my blinds.
People say, 'Well don't you regret not having kids?' And I go, 'No, not really.' And then if they keep asking, I always say this, 'Well, you know, maybe I'll adopt.' But I don't mean that. It's just something I say to make me sound like a nicer person.
To me, political office should be like jury duty. You should just get a notice in mail one day and be like, I'm Secretary of State next month!
