I'm about being funny. If I can make a joke using profanity, I will. But for the most part, that can get awfully old and boring.
I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.
When you hire me, you hire a nut who is going to work 24 hours a day for you and never, ever burn his audience.
Most of the things I do are misunderstood. Hey, after all, being misunderstood is the fate of all true geniuses, is it not?
I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose.
I'm not looking for a paycheck.
It causes me great pain to sue the company I work for. Nevertheless, I had to do it. Suffice it to say, there's a dispute and I believe I haven't been given what is mine.
I didn't listen to executives.
I believe I am doing the work for humanity. This show is so uplifting.
I've always thought that a name says a lot about a person. So naturally, being named Howard, I always wanted to crawl into a hole.
Set about doing good to somebody. Put on your hat and go and visit the sick and poor of your neighborhood; inquire into their circumstances and minister to their wants. Seek out the desolate and afflicted and oppressed. . . I have often tried this method, and have always found it the best medicine for a heavy heart.
Late night television is ready for someone like me... standards have gone to an all-time low.
We are busy planning the launch of the channel. I am busy planning all kinds of events that go on the channel without me. I have started producing a sound for the channel.
I'm not a good listener some times. I'm too much of a control freak. I'm learning to be better. I was so caught up in just getting the job done that I would miss out on the human aspect of this. There was a connection missing.
