Rage only works if it is justified. That's the trick with rage. You gotta have a reason to be mad.
Stand-up comedy is an art form and it dies unless you expand it.
My view of life is, 'If you're going to miss Heaven, why miss it by two inches? Miss it!
Ive never been against women. That anti-feminist rap is bogus. I think men should be nice to women, buy them diamonds.
There's no happy ending to cocaine. You either die, you go to jail, or else you run out.
You gotta keep falling in love. You gotta believe in it. What are you going to do... give sheep the vote?
I look for women I know are gonna bust me up good. Come on, man, who can resist that? Who can resist that emotional pain? Yeah, they all have the same line, they're so sweet: I'm not gonna hurt you like all the others. Really I'm not. I'm gonna introduce you to a whole new level of pain!
