I've never been against women. That anti-feminist rap is bogus. I think men should be nice to women, buy them diamonds.
It was like going to church, except Ozzy Osbourne was there.
I guess they're tough jokes. But there's lots of things you either laugh or cry at. And you just can't cry.
Society needs a couple of vents that say what you're not supposed to say.
Just because I do a few comedy bits about gay people, that does not mean I'm out there promoting some anti-gay cause.
I'm not going to give up the shock part of my comedy.
Anyone can go out on stage and start beating people over the head with rubber chickens. That'll get people's attention.
I'm a comedian, and my comedy has never endorsed violence towards gays.
I'm so tired of men who are afraid to hurt women's feelings.
I called a detox center - just to see how much it would cost: $13,000 for three weeks! My friends, if you can come up with thirteen grand, you don't have a problem yet
Everything can be satirized.
I don't deny my life-style is occasionally pretty wild.
In the 1990s, it's OK to do comedy about the Chernobyl disaster or the Space Shuttle blowing up. It's acceptable to ridicule the Pope or the President of the United States, but God forbid you do a joke... about gays. The gay community is the last sacred cow in this society.
I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock n roll and ex-wives. In that order.
