I had seen movies before that that had made me laugh, but I had never seen anything even remotely close to as funny as Richard Pryor was, just standing there talking.

Live your life like you're the hero in your movie and right now.

To me, comedy is a great occupation because I don't really worry that much about what other people think of me.

Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.

People for the most part can smell lies, at least I thought that until I saw audiences applaud at Carlos Mencia.

I've been involved in mixed martial arts since 1997 when I first started working for the UFC.

Now obviously popularity isn't everything when it comes to stand up comedy, but the art form itself is better today than it ever has before. I think there are more great comics. I think the standard is higher. The critical analysis is a little harsher, but that is also good. Maybe people have a higher standard than before, maybe they are a little more judgmental, a little more brutal, that makes people work harder. It makes the stand up better.
