Real comedy doesn't just make people laugh and think, but makes them laugh and change.

John Goodman isn't fat. He's in a category beyond fat. What does one call it? Whalelike.

I don't deny my life-style is occasionally pretty wild.

I started saying things in church that didn't meet with a lot of approval - like 'Jesus isn't coming back.' They started throwing Bibles.

I got divorced, which was not a good thing for a revivalist minister. It did not go down well. I'd already been banned from a couple churches for my jokes. So one day I woke up and decided it was time to start living for myself.

I want to show people that there's a side of myself other than just the outrageous comedian.

Stand-up comedy is an art form and it dies unless you expand it.
