Most people when they have autobiographies, they're not autobiographies, they're biographies written by a ghost writer.

There's nothing better for a comedian than adversity.

A lot of my best stuff is just ad libs on stage and that's one thing that I've gotten back to at the live show.

I am no kind of philanthropist or humanitarian, but it is really nice to get those emails from all over the world of people who said, I had nothing to laugh at or my son was really sick or my husband is really sick and we put on your DVDs and we laughed, thanks for making the real world go away for a little while.

[In my bio] is no drunk driving, there's no DUI's, there's no possession of cocaine, none of that stuff so you know, I don't know if that's good or bad. Everybody loves dirty laundry.

A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.

Growing up doing those Kiwanis Clubs, doing those Cub Scout banquets, doing those church shows, I learned to find that sensibility that most people could laugh at - that all ages and demographics could laugh at.
