I Liked Radio, Or Podcasting. I Like Talking Minus The Camera And The Script Part. All Those Mediums Are Different, And They Are All Different With Their Pluses And Minuses. I Would Say The Podcast Is My Favorite Because I Like The Freedom Of Podcasting. With Podcasting You Can Really Mess Around With The Form And The Format. The Pace Of Radio Is Very Fast. Boom, Boom, With A Little Six Minute Segment, Then On To The Next Thing. With Podcasts You Can Talk About Something For 25 Minutes If You Like - There Is A Lot Of Artistic Freedom With It.

A Lot Of Guys And People In Our Society Think That Chicks Just Love Dudes With Money. Chicks Love Dudes Who Are Successful Who Happen To Have Money - Do You Know What I Mean? Chicks Are Attracted To Dudes That Are Doing Their Own Thing.

I Think Comedy Has Evolved Like Every Art Form, And People Probably Do Less Standing Around And Telling Jokes, And More Things That Have To Do With Reality.

This Is Why The Terrorists Hate Us. And It's Not The Glitter And It's Not The Pomp And Circumstance. We've Got Black And White, We've Got Hispanic And Asian, We Got Gay, Straight, And Guttenberg, All Working Together For One Common Goal: To Get The Mirror Ball. And The Mirror Ball Doesn't Care What Color You Are, And It Doesn't Care How Rich Your Parents Are, And It Doesn't Care What God You Pray To.

The Shuttle Is The Worst $20 You'll Ever Save. It Adds 90 Minutes To Whatever A Town Car Or Cab Would Have Been.

Don’t Do Your Best, Do My Best.

Having Sex Without A Condom Is Like Riding A Roller Coaster With Diarrhea. You Can't Just Throw Your Hands Up And Enjoy It.

I Am Not Agnostic. I Am Atheist. I Don’t Think There Is No God; I Know There’s No God. I Know There’s No God The Same Way I Know Many Other Laws In Our Universe. I Know There’s No God And I Know Most Of The World Knows That As Well. They Just Won’t Admit It Because There’s Another Thing They Know. They Know They’re Going To Die And It Freaks Them Out. So Most People Don’t Have The Courage To Admit There’s No God And They Know It. They Feel It. They Try To Suppress It. And If You Bring It Up They Get Angry Because It Freaks Them Out.

I Feel Like I'm A Time Traveler From The Future Who Has Been Sent Back To Be Annoyed.

As I Said In My Last Book, Birds Are Mean. They're The Only Pet That, When They Escape, The Owners Are Relieved. You Can Tell A Species Is Evil By Doing This Simple Math. If My Blond Lab Molly Was The Size Of T-rex, That Would Just Mean More Kibble, More Work For The Gardener In The Backyard, And A Harder Time Moving Her To My Wife's Side Of The Bed At Night. If Birds Were The Size Of A T-rex, The Streets Would Be Littered With Human Remains.

I Want To Work For Myself, And I Do Work For Myself. I Make Plenty Of Money Working For Myself.

We're All Animals, That We All Respond To The Same Stimuli. If You Want To Motivate Somebody Not To Have Premarital Sex, Or Motivate Black Bears Not To Go Diving Into Dumpsters, First You Have To Think About Why They Do It. Telling Them To Stop Isn't Going To Help. There Has To Be Some Incentive For Them To Alter Their Behavior.

A Lot Of People Would Say, To Be Truthful Is To Tell All, Every Dalliance, Every Crisis. They Might Be Right On Paper, But In Practice, It's Not A Great Way To Go.

It's Like The Fouth Of July In My Underpants.

Maybe It's Weird, But I Don't Feel In Any Way, Shape Or Form That I'm Taking Over His Show.

When You Have Kids, You Instantly Feel That You Do Not Want To Do Them Wrong. Those Dads That Go Off To Florida And Start A New Life, I Couldn’t Imagine That: Seeing My Kid Once Every Christmas, Every Three Years. If I’m Gone For Six Days It Feels Like Too Much.

I Don't Have Anything Against My Mom, But My Family Has No Emotional Connection To Each Other.

I'd Be At Someone's House Or Be Up On The Roof All Day And I'd Get Lonely - Stir Crazy - And Talk Radio Became This Soothing Voice In My Life. But The Idea That I Was Making $10 An Hour And Stacking Drywall While These Guys Were Making A Few Hundred Thousand, And They Were Having A Party, And There Were Playmates And There Were Good Times, I Just Couldn't Imagine It.

I Liked Radio, Or Podcasting. I Like Talking Minus The Camera And The Script Part. All Those Mediums Are Different, And They Are All Different With Their Pluses And Minuses. I Would Say The Podcast Is My Favorite Because I Like The Freedom Of Podcasting. With Podcasting You Can Really Mess Around With The Form And The Format. The Pace Of Radio Is Very Fast. Boom, Boom, With A Little Six Minute Segment, Then On To The Next Thing. With Podcasts You Can Talk About Something For 25 Minutes If You Like - There Is A Lot Of Artistic Freedom With It.

Junior Colleges Are High Schools With Ashtrays.

I Think If You Create Something And You Get An Audience For It, Then The Monetization Part Is Really Secondary.

I Am Semi-ambivalent About Being On Camera - Sort Of Low-key. I Don't Like Being On Camera Stuff That Much. I Like Radio And Live Performing Stuff. I Don't Like The Television Stuff As Much. Some People Do. It Takes A Certain Breed Of Cat. There Is A Ton Of Pressure And You Need To Read Cue Cards. I Am Not A Good Cue Card Reader. Being A Poor Reader Was Enough To Make Me Not Want To Do That Type Of Formatted Show.

I've Got A Great Eye For Color. I'm Like A Chick.

I Give Women Two Types Of Orgasms. Fake And None.

When You're Picking A Basketball Team, You'll Take The Brother Over The Guy With The Yarmulke. Why? Because You're Playing The Odds.

Screw Guilt -- I Could Have Sex With 10 Men And It Wouldn't Bother Me. I'm An Atheist!

When You're Doing A Radio Show, You Can Express Yourself.

You Shouldn't Be Eating Anything That Takes Six Minutes To Microwave.

Everyone In Hollywood Thinks Like A Republican Fiscally By Leaving Town To Shoot Everything; They Just Don't Vote That Way.

The Very Definition Of 'beauty' Is Outside.

Definition Of Beauty

To Make Something, You Have To Work Within Your Abilities. Honestly Assess What You Can Do And Even More Important, What Can't You Do.

The Truth Is We're All Probably More Creative Than We Realize, Except We Spend Our Lives Watching Tv Or Reading Somebody Else's Book. We Never Pick Up A Brush And Stand In Front Of Our Own Easel.

I'm Not Sexist, I'm Just A Realist.

If Joy Behar Or Sherri Shepherd Was A Dude, They'd Be Off Tv. They're Not Funny Enough For Dudes. What If Roseanne Barr Was A Dude? Think We'd Know Who She Was?

If In 1989 I Said, 'i Have An Idea: Bottle Water And Sell It. And Charge More Than A Beer,' They Would Have Chased Me Around With A Giant Butterfly Net. The Same With Paying To Watch A Television Station.
