I had my back waxed once by two women... and at one point they said, Do you mind if we take a break?
We've had cloning in the South for years. It's called cousins.
I met Jonah Lomu. I never knew how huge he was. I felt like a peasant in a Godzilla movie. 'Quickly! Tell the other villagers! We go now!'
We have a president for whom English is a second language. He's like 'We have to get rid of dictators,' but he's pretty much one himself.
If you don't keep pushing the limits, you wake up one day and you're the "center square to block."
The only weapon we have is comedy.
I'm a very tolerant man, except when it comes to holding a grudge.
For a while you get mad, then you get over it.
I only ever play Vegas one night at a time.
[when asked about what he was most thankful about]: Being alive. After heart surgery, you dig that part. Breath, family and friends are just amazing. Just to have a second shot is pretty great!
I was an only child. I did have kind of like a lonely existence.
I thought I was fooling people. But it's the old thing of 'they say vodka doesn't smell'. No, not until you sweat. And you just lie and lie and you think 'I can deal with this'. And then you finally go, 'No you can't'. And then you give up.
If you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? Carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.
I love running cross-country...You come up a hill and see two deer going, 'What the hell is he doing?' On a track I feel like a hamster.
