My father was the role model I looked up to. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star.

I don't do drama. I'm a comedian.

You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.

Don't follow in my footsteps. Be original, and create your own path. Be a trailblazer! Do you! Be better than me. Do you! Be happy and have joy in your life.

George Carlin is an influence on a generation. He made me want to do comedy.

I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.

I can't watch American Idol... it's like karaoke without the booze.
