If you put your personal stories out there people always connect.

Early on when I started talking about my weight, it was self-deprecating; everything was a joke.

Kids, man, they're way too honest. They're like mini-alcoholics.

There's 5 levels of fatness! Fluffy is one of the levels. There's big, healthy, husky, fluffy and damn.

I'm never home. I miss birthdays. I miss holidays. I miss anniversaries. I miss special moments. I'm not always there for important times, because I'm out on the road trying to make people laugh. I give up my privacy. I give up the ability to walk somewhere and relax.

People understand when I talk about my son not listening, or issues at home or his real dad coming back into the picture, or even stories about family members not seeing eye to eye with what you're doing.

I try not to get political, I don't want to get religious, I don't want to get controversial, I just want to have a show that relates to everybody.
