It doesn't hurt my voice or anything because some impressions tear my throat apart. [Christophen] Walken is easy I can do it in my sleep. They all know it by heart. I did it on The Simpsons. I'm surprised that people still want to hear it.

Every time you talk about politics or religion, know that the moment you open your mouth you're isolating 50% of your audience, in any medium. You're taking 50% of people that'll buy tickets to come see you and you're removing them from the equation.

I miss third grade because you could kill people in dodgeball. Remember the rules to dodgeball? If you're fat or have glasses, don't show up because you'll die.

Yogi Berra put it best, If people don't want to come, we can't stop them.

I wasn't the guy everyone liked. I was the guy that wouldn't shut up.
Jay Mohr

I didn't want to fight a guy from England. What if I lose? Not that English guys aren't strong, but who wants to get beat up by a guy with that voice? That's not the most masculine voice to take a beating to.

I'm oddly not competitive. What I love about show business is there is a home for everyone.

If anyone thinks my show was 'pretty good,' then I've completely failed.

I don't care about anybody's perception of me except for the audience.
