alcohol drug drink
I've never had a drink of alcohol or any drug in my life.
voice scripts comedy
I've been fired from a situational comedy with a script they wrote specifically for me because of my voice.
black-and-white people straightforward
Juggling is very, very straightforward; very, very black and white; you're manipulating objects, not people. And that's always appealed to me.
way looks computer
My love of computers, besides being practical, is very direct and visceral. I love the way things look on the screen.
magic special olympics
Magic is the Special Olympics of entertainment.
politics politician partners
Fear is the politicians dance partner.
smell diversity rude
That's the beauty of the Web: You can roll around in a stranger's obsession without having to smell his or her house. You can amscray whenever you want without being rude. The site gets its "hit" and you know more about our species' diversity.
kids gun rights
The fact that the majority wants something good does not give them the right to use force on the minority that don't want to pay for it. If you have to use a gun, it's not really a very good idea. Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It's just ganging up on the weird kid, and I'm always the weird kid.
wine order alcohol
If I go out to dinner with you and you order wine, I leave. I won't be around drugs and alcohol at all.
vegas people debt
I live in Vegas, and I see people by the side of the road with cardboard signs who seem like they might have tried that spending their way out of debt thing.
stupid promise trying
I don't want anyone as president who promises to take care of me. I may be stupid, but I want a chance to try to be a grown-up and take care of my family.
mistake littles computer
Computers absolutely changed my life. Before I had a computer, I had never written one thing. Not one thing. I'm a very bad speller and I was embarrassed by that. When I would type, the little mistakes would make me nutty, and I would never edit anything.
three tvs
Poker would have never gotten on TV when we only had three networks.
player smarter
Every poker player is smarter than me.
