When I want to work on my material, I go to Benihana or the barbershop.
You have to be highly intelligent to get away with a dumb joke. That takes a pretty smart fella.
I don't see myself as angry, although other people see that. I just see myself as a short, dumpy guy with bad feet, and I'm passionate.
I don't get on the phone and prank people and things like that on the phone with people, no.
I don't believe in storks. I know they don't deliver babies; they deliver pickles.
I believe gay, straight, anybody, everybody's supposed to be happy in this world, man.
America doesn't like to hear about things like welfare. 'Don't talk about that. We don't like what it did to people!' Yeah, but it happened.
God gave us dreams, but he gave us kids to make all those dreams worthwhile. And when I look at all my kids, I say everything that I've ever went through in my life was worthwhile.
If I gamble, I'll play roulette. My wife and I will play roulette, and that's about it. I'm not a heavy gambler.
I'm not perfect, but I strive for it.
I know how bad bullying can hurt. I was bullied when I was a kid.
I want to be an example of a guy who made something of himself out of nothing. A guy who overcame the odds of a tough childhood, who worked hard, who didn't let his surroundings get the best of him and lead him to jail or the graveyard. Where I ended up - being a comedian, a TV star, and a movie actor - might be unique, but my story is not.
The only person who knows what's in my wallet is my wife.
The version of me you see on TV now and in my feature films is a pretty happy guy, isn't he?
