I'm like a Dilbert cartoon.
I've got to get on myself to be sharp, funny and loose.
I've had it where things didn't go well for me with movies or something that got canceled.
In grade school I was smart, but I didn't have any friends. In high school, I quit being smart and started having friends.
When I'm interviewed on Leno, just be funny, period. That's all they want from me. I don't want to tell my life story.
I want to get away from it all. Move to the sticks. Montana. Hundreds of miles from civilization. Get a cabin in the snow. Curl up with some cute girl. Say stuff to her like, Scream all you want, sugar. Ain't nobody gonna hear you!
It wasn't a cutdown to call someone a Mexican. It would kill my career to refer to someone as Mexican today. It's like calling me an American.
If I try to cover too much ground, you start to get watered down and less interesting.
I've got people who like Tommy Boy, but they're getting older and there's a whole new wave of college kids who see that and Joe Dirt, and Just Shoot Me is a little older, so I wanted stuff for everybody.
Gossip is a plague that consumes weak, gullible people and blinds them from the truth of reality; it can devour entire city's. I prefer keeping my eyes wide open.
I'm scared of slipping up, of just doing a joke that makes me laugh.
I started doing the star turn and making a profit off it. Now I'm kind of one of them.
I have two skateboards, but I don't get to use them much. I have a snowboard, which I've never used.
I changed my act because I wasn't getting booked.
