You have to be highly intelligent to get away with a dumb joke. That takes a pretty smart fella.
When I want to work on my material, I go to Benihana or the barbershop.
Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. You have to see how you're carrying yourself because there's a little girl. There's not a little boy, there's a little girl. I think I'm a little more overprotective.
It's like going to the zoo when you come to my house. I have snakes, three sharks, moray eels, piranhas, five scorpions and a bird spider.
People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We're losing all of our communication skills.
Having boys is different. Boys, you put sneakers on, and they're out, they're ready. Girls, you gotta pay a little bit more attention to them.
What am I afraid of? The IRS. That's it. I don't want those people knockin' on my door, man.
If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that curiosity might kill cats, but it doesn't kill people.
I know my spirit is not mean, and I have a very good spirit and a funny spirit.
I have a nice following in Boston. The Boston crowd is very hip.
I have a heart. I want people to see me with their heart and not their eyes.
I guess I'm entertaining; I guess I'm interesting. I guess the things that I say sell papers. I guess they sell magazines. I don't know.
I got five kids - I claim three for income tax purposes.
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.
