Of course in show business there are two ways to play it and I am not politically correct so I am not going to get endorsements or anything like that
When you're on the road a lot, you're in perpetual search of a good night's sleep.
I have gay friends, I support gay rights, I have nothing against the gay community, but when I see two guys kissing, I think it's gross. And, by the way, it's gross when 99% of straight people do it, too.
I want to see Toby Maguire fight Christian Bale.
In Hollywood, there is another name for a woman's 40th birthday party, it's a retirement party.
Howard's unbelievably nutty, politically incorrect style is probably the single biggest influence on me.
When political correctness first started coming around, it ruined Andrew Dice Clay and Eddie Murphy's stand-up career. Sam Kinison died at just the right time, 'cause no one was going to tolerate what he was saying anymore either.
When I black out, it's the happiest time of my life.
The regular guy still relates to him and Howard is a $500 million guy now who dates a model and drives about in a limo all day. But Howard still knows how to make a plumber laugh and those guys still have him on in the morning, because he is a real talent.
Richard Lewis has this incredible ability to look like he's just... you know it's an act that's been honed. What you have to do in standup is create spontaneity, somehow; even though you've done this act a million times, you gotta look like you're almost just thinking of it now, to make it entertainer.
It's good to be alive.
It's a life of five-card draw, and you know what? When God asked me - I'm fine with the card I got. I'm gonna play this.
I'm a comic, so I like to stay nocturnal. I work 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
I once dealt with a prima donna on a movie set. I won't say who, but his first name is a country. A communist country. Run by Fidel Castro.
